Vets for Freedom History

In December 2005, a group of friends came together to found Vets for Freedom, in an effort to tell the American people the ground truths of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The founders were decorated combat veterans of these wars, and were frustrated with the way the media and politicians were portraying these wars to the American people. The cofounders represented the trigger-pulling class of today’s military and they were not going to stand idly by as their war was being debated by politicians and pundits who had little first hand knowledge of the situation on the ground.
