IAVA members were among the 27,000 members of the Armed Forces participating in Wednesday’s Veterans Day Parade through New York City. In this Fox 5 News segment prior to the parade, IAVA Project Coordinator and Iraq and Afghanistan Veteran Jennifer Hunt and IAVA Member Chris Goldsmith, shared their thoughts on participating in one of the nation’s largest and oldest Veterans Day parades.

The Wall Street Journal recently spoke to IAVA Member Veteran Luis Carlos Montalvan for this profile about his service dog, Tuesday, and programs like East Coast Assistance Dogs, Inc. that are helping a new generation of veterans manage injuries including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury.  Click here to watch a short video about Montalvan and Tuesday.

The Army Times has cited Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America as supporters of the Helping Active Duty Deployed Act drafted by Rep. Gerald Connelly, D-Va.  The bill, known in the house as HR 2874, would expand the rights of service members and families to avoid financial penalties incurred from deployments. “It is unconscionable that members of our armed forces who put their lives on the line to protect our freedom are charged early termination penalties when facing deployment or change of station", Connelly said.

On April 30th, MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show plugged IAVA's innovative new PSA campaign - anchored by "Signs" and SupportYourVet.org - to engage the friends and family of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.
