THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO SERVED

Here at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, we are proud to celebrate the men and women who have served our country. This Veterans Day, take a closer look at three of our National Treasures that speak volumes about veterans' courage and sacrifice. Places like Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium honor their memory, while the Milwaukee VA Soldiers Home and Battle Mountain Sanitarium provide essential medical care and places of healing. We are committed to protecting the places that tell the stories of veterans' service, and we thank them for their commitment to protect us. Learn more at SavingPlaces.org.

Friend,

One of New Jersey’s veterans of World War II, Frank Brantigan, recently visited Washington, DC as part of an honor flight, and I’m so touched by his story. I want to share it with you.

“It will be very bittersweet as I travel to Washington DC to the World War II Memorial with my fellow World War II Veterans. I will remember my time spent in Germany and feel so grateful I have had the good fortunate to survive then and to have celebrated my 90th birthday.” – Frank Brantigan

You can read more about Frank’s visit to DC at our Facebook page.

We owe Frank and all of our nation's veterans our deepest gratitude. I hope you’ll take time today to thank a veteran in your life. I’m grateful for all they’ve done for our country, and pledge to do everything I can to make sure we support them with the resources they need and deserve.

Check out Frank’s touching story here—I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I did.

Cory Booker

Don't Thank Me For My Service

Resources Support our IndieGoGo! Check out our video Additional Resources Donate Today Contact IVAW Dear Friend, This day isn't one our community takes pride in. We have always cringed at the "Thank you for your service" platitudes we are offered. Thanking us assumes that our service and support of the occupations is something to be grateful for, and it shuts off any chance for dialogue about the atrocities of wars. We refuse to forget what we took part in and we will not stop in working to end these wars of choice, wars of greed, wars manufactured by people who don't bear their burdens. Our community of veterans is marking this day a bit differently than most. Today, we are launching our #DropTheMIC (military industrial complex) campaign.  Drop the MIC is focused on highlighting how U.S. militarism affects everyone's lives- those living abroad facing the brunt of U.S. forces and weapons and those living here, facing over militarized police. The same companies that provide weapons to Saudi Arabia and militias in Syria are equipping police departments with armored vehicles. U.S. militarism shows up in the recruiters in our schools, the surveillance aircraft monitoring our protests and the Pentagon sponsored 'Salute our Veterans' spectacles at sports arenas across the country. It is immersed in our lives and we are committed to working to make the invisible seen and to put it to an end. Today we ask for your support in two ways: 1.) Share the countless ways U.S. militarism shows up in your daily life. Post a picture on social media of the many ways militarism shows up in your community and use the hashtag #DropTheMIC (military industrial complex). By using the hashtag on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, others will be able to search for like minded posts and see each way militarism shows up in communities across the country. If you don't have a picture feel free to post a relevant article or video with the same hashtag. The goal is to have our friends and family thinking about how widespread U.S. militarism is here at home and abroad. 2.) Contribute to our ongoing Indiegogo campaign to fund our new work areas. We are only $5,000 away from reaching our goal! It makes a big difference for our continued organizing and putting this work into the world.  On a day that often feels more focused on hiding the wounds of war and ignoring the reasons we have so many veterans, we appreciate the fact that you are by our side in this struggle.  In Solidarity, Matt Howard Co-Director Iraq Veterans Against the War
