Vets for Freedom's National Leadership Team is a cross-section of our great generation of American warriors from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Our team represents the trigger pulling class of today’s military. The team is comprised of officers and enlisted personnel from all branches of service from across America. It represents troops that have served in every major unit and every theatre of operations in the Global War on Terror. Our team leaders advise Vets for Freedom on local and national issues affecting the troops and veterans of the War on Terror. Members are available for press interviews upon request.
