I would like to start a weekly or bi-weekly meetup for veterans who are against the current or past wars of the United States. I have been involved with “Iraq Veterans Against The War” and “Veterans For Peace” since 2008.

The mission of Final Salute Inc. is to provide homeless female Veterans with safe and suitable housing. The word homeless should not be associated with any Veteran. However, most people are not even aware that a homeless female Veteran population exist. It is estimated that there are 13,000 homeless female Veterans in the United States. For the sacrifices they and their families have made, this is an unacceptable state for any of them to be in. Female Veterans are twice as likely to be in the …
