Should Colbert be an Honorary IAVA Member? You decide!
Posted by Michelle McCarthy on July 18

Stephen Colbert is back from Iraq! And on last Monday's Colbert Report, IAVA Executive Director Paul Rieckhoff talked to him about the success of "Operation Iraqi Stephen" and the issues affecting our nation's troops and veterans as they transition home from Iraq and Afghanistan.  During the show, Rieckhoff also issued Colbert Nation a new challenge: Yes, Colbert made it to Iraq and back, but does he deserve to be an honorary IAVA Member? You decide!  If 25,000 people sign the pledge, IAVA will make Colbert an Honorary Member!
