Ine case you missed it, 'VFW Urges Patience Until September Report'
VFW Urges Patience Until September Report


WASHINGTON, July 13, 2007--In response to yesterday’s House of Representatives vote to bring the majority of the troops home from Iraq by April 1, the national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is urging Congress to be patient as the ongoing strategy of military, diplomatic and economic initiatives continues to unfold in Iraq.

“The September assessment report by Army Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker is the key, not yesterday’s interim report card,” said VFW Commander-in-Chief Gary Kurpius, a Vietnam veteran from Anchorage, Alaska.


uhc note: These sorry motherfuckers will never see a penny from me.

1. This is dissapointing, to say the least.
You'd think that they, of all people would be the last to say the word "patience" when it comes to an illegal war that we were lied into.

2. The only
group that we give to is the Paralyzed Veterans of America. I am retired army and my wife is a diabled vet. Too me the VFW and the Legion are more political organizations than veterans groups.
