Honoring Veterans for Peace
IRAQ VETERANS AGAINST the WAR (IVAW)
"Bring Our Brothers and Sisters Home Now!"

IVAW is a national group of veterans and active-duty servicemen & women of
the "Global War on Terror". It was founded by Iraq war veterans in July,
2004 at the annual convention of Veterans for Peace in Boston to give a
voice to the large numbers who are against this war, but are under various
pressures to remain silent. IVAW today has 27 chapters around the country
and in Canada. Members educate the public to the realities of the Iraq war
and military service by speaking in communities, in classrooms & to the
media about their experiences. IVAW supports all those resisting the war,
including Conscientious Objectors and others facing military prosecution for
their refusal to fight.
