We all have important values and ideas, things we care about and want to share. Sometimes we feel our ideas can even change the world or at least our corner of it, and we at USVA want to let other corporations and the public know how they can join in and help the families of our military in need.

From a PROUD MOTHER of a soldier serving in Iraq.

I am shocked and very angry at the lack of our politicians to stop the bickering between them and the posturing for the media at the expensive of our troops who are being used as pawns. When you ask our young men and women to go and fight for a cause and then you decide that maybe you want to change your minds when they haven't finished their mission. What is this, monopoly? This is not a child's game this is our children. This is MY child. And when the media and the newspapers allow traitors like Jane Fonda to shoot her mouth off. I hold her personally responsible for the deaths of some of our troops due to her actions in Vietnam.
I find it unnerving that "Axis Sally" and "Tokyo Rose" went to prison for treason and Jane Fonda, NOTHING! Give me a break, not on MY child's watch. She has a son why didn't he serve his country?

And now we have to watch as our own Senators do the same thing to the new generation Of soldiers. You ask our children to defend our country and now YOU pick and choose which one is popular to you, At the time.And who made you God. I know I didn't.Then you have the protesters,who act like this is some kind of party to them and a throw back to the 60's ,and the damage they did to our troops then will never be mended. They were cruel, ignorant and stupid to our returning Vietnam vets., but not this time around.Not with MY child.
And I am so sick of the mainstream media and the papers printing half-truths. You talk about polls on President Bush and the war. Well, no one called MY child or me.

I met President Bush in March of 2006 in the Oval Office of the White House. And he not only talked to 15 of us there. But he personally came and sat next to me and took my hand in his and asked me what I thought and I told the most powerful man I had ever met about Adam Plumondor, who died a hero in Iraq in 2004, and his very brave mother and family who planted a tree in their front yard in Oregon for him. And for others to try and undermine this hero is shameful. How it is that politicians can use the media and us to promote their agenda and yet no one ever asks us or MY child.

This is not just about Iraq or Afghanistan, its about Somalia, Vietnam, Korea .You ask and our troops go. And then you "desert" them, or expect them to fight with "one arm behind their back" as that is what the media, politicians, and newspapers do daily.. Where is the truth in what is going on? If we had this much "bias" media and news reporting in the D-day invasion with my father. We would all be speaking fluent Japanese and German and living under a dictatorship. So we need to wake up and stop putting a band aid on a very large wound, it won't work.

There have been warnings for several years. But so many forget about Beirut bombing that killed about 241,or the 1983 bombing where 17 Americans died, and the marine that was killed by a sniper a few days later. And I find it strange how a flight from the Sinai with 248, 101st airborne coming home for Christmas on Dec. 12 th, 1985 explodes on take off and it's called an accident or the kidnapping of Lt..Col.William Higgins in 1988 ,who was hung. The bombing of the Pan Am flight in Scotland, but I bet the families of these have NEVER forgotten. Funny how we have such short term memories when its not one of our family members. But I don't, and neither does MY child.

And if the war on terror is a real threat to all America and our way of life, why are only a few required to defend the rest? Why are so few fighting and protecting so many?
The newspapers with their sensationalism, the politicians with their political agenda, and the media with their "no.1 slot" it's never about our troops. So I am standing up and asking all Americans to do the same and stop this insanity.

My son is my hero. And believe me he and our entire military are heroes to most Americans.
Our military would be the first ones called when these protestors are attacked by foreign killers and the protestors would be the first ones to blame our troops when things don't go the way they want.
Wake up America! I say this to all politicians, Republicans, Democrats and Independent. You should ALL be ashamed of yourselves! You fight while my son and many like him are doing what you asked of them. So if you want to debate this further. Do us all a favor and do it in the middle of Iraq, with a 70lb back pack, canteen of warm water, an M-16, heavy helmet, sweat pouring down your face, bugs eating you up and oh ,yeah and Some one trying to kill you!

You want to play games with our troop's lives? NOT WITH MY SON YOU WON'T

Mission Statement

U.S. Vet Aid was formed for the purpose of raising monies for the soldiers and their families of the United States of America through their long standing 501c3's/charitable organizations.  This includes the Reservists, Coast Guard and National Guard as well.  U.S. Vet Aid will effect this by holding a music concert series Since these military charity organizations are not funded by the U. S. government, but rather by the private sector, it is U.S. Vet Aid's belief that it can make a difference for the soldier and their families by raising public awareness of the needs and donating the proceeds received in each of these concerts.  Unknown artists, legendary artists and international/national headliners will all be used for this purpose.

 

It is U.S. Vet Aid's passion and mission to make this the biggest entertainment, money raiser ever in the history of the United States.

Nov. 17, 2003 issue - What should you put in a letter to your spouse serving in Iraq? The conventional wisdom, says Janet Mooney of South Charleston, W.Va., is “to put a shiny face on everything we tell them, so the guys feel better—but I don’t believe in that.”

MOONEY’S THEORY IS that soldiers like her husband, Patrick, a West Virginia state trooper whose National Guard unit called him up in February, “want to feel like they’re a part of what’s happening here.” So along with accounts of their daughter Caitlin’s 10th birthday, Janet felt she had to inform Pat about the death of her father and of Pat’s grandmother, about the clothes dryer’s catching fire and the trip to Cape Cod on which she lost her wedding ring. That way, she says, her husband “feels —like he’s still included” in the family life he left so abruptly—and Mooney doesn’t have to keep it to herself when the basement floods and she slips and breaks two ribs.

After losing a limb, mobility or eyesight to bullets or bombs in Iraq, some of the most gravely wounded U.S. soldiers face financial devastation.
Now, a young Army Sergeant moved by the plight of fellow amputees is seeking creation of a federal insurance law to provide timely help to the war's future wounded.
After Ryan Kelly's lower right leg was blown off in an ambush near Baghdad 18 months ago, he joined the steady stream of maimed soldiers going through Walter Reed Army Medical Center's eminent Ward 57 in Washington.
Kelly said he and his wounded comrades received excellent medical care, state-of-the-art prosthetic devices and extensive rehabilitation. He ran a 5-mile race in Central Park last summer on his artificial leg.
