OpTruth Now Iraq And Afghanistan Veterans of America.

Dear Friend,

Starting today, Operation Truth will be known as IAVA: Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

The first question we always got when we introduced ourselves as Operation Truth was, “What is that?” We’re America’s first and largest Iraq and Afghanistan veterans organization. We couldn’t think of a simpler way of saying that than by calling the group Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

Does this mean Operation Truth is changing course or its mission?

No. Our mission is still exactly the same.

I’ve never served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Can I still support your work?

Yes! If you’re a civilian, military family member, or a veteran of other conflicts, Operation Truth is still the place for you. IAVA’s Operation Truth is now the name of our grassroots action group. You will still receive our emails and be kept informed about issues facing the Troops and how you can show your support for our work. As usual -- please spread the word to anyone (civilian or veteran) who you think would be interested in our work.

If you’re an Iraq or Afghanistan veteran, click here to join IAVA’s TroopNet.

What do you think of the name change? Sound off by commenting on our blog.
Sincerely,

Paul Rieckhoff
