 It's only been two weeks, and lives have already changed.
Because of the incredible response we've received from IAVA Supporters like you, our new Public Service Announcement is the most-watched video in IAVA history. Over 29,000 people have viewed it already, and tens of thousands of people have visited our new website, www.SupportYourVet.org.
Click here to see the story of one woman whose life has already been impacted.
When Annette McLeod's husband returned from Iraq, he spent 15 months recovering at Walter Reed. She felt alone, helping her husband navigate the complicated claims process while living hundreds of miles away from her friends and family back home in South Carolina.
In the last two weeks, Annette has become an active member of www.SupportYourVet.org, finding comfort among others with similar experiences and lending an ear to those in the same situation.
Watch this quick clip of Annette telling her story at the launch event for www.SupportYourVet.org.
Help us keep the momentum of this campaign going by sharing the commercial and the website with your friends and family members. Your voice is a powerful tool. The star of NBC's Heroes, Milo Ventimiglia, the son of a Vietnam veteran, said it best at the launch of www.SupportYourVet.org:
"This campaign is something a lot of people can get behind, because it's really about giving back. If I'm one voice, and I can speak to ten people, ten people turn into a hundred, and a hundred into thousands. Then you're really doing your part."
Thank you for standing with us.
Sincerely,
Paul
