America's attention may have shifted to other issues, but the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan continue full force. Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and active duty soldiers need your help to bring the war home. As a preview to the Winter Soldier hearings, three veterans who will be testifying created this short film, using photographs and video from their tours in Iraq. WARNING: It is war, very graphic content, not suggested for ANYONE. Can you stand a glimpse of what our soldiers and Iraqi and Afghani men, women and children live with every day? Will you share it with your friends? Or will you turn away from the horrors they must face and allow them to continue to bear the burden alone? The purpose of the Winter Soldier hearings, March 13-16, is to share the realities of the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan with America--but will America be watching? Will you be watching? There are many ways that you can help Iraq Veterans Against the War bring the war home through the Winter Soldier hearings, but first you must make the decision to step up and help them bear the responsibility for these wars. We cannot rely on the mainstream media, we all know that, and IVAW cannot get this message out to America without your help. Please watch the video. Please share the video. Visit http://ivaw.org/wintersoldier and let them know how you will help, they are waiting to hear from you. On March 13-16, shortly before the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the war in Iraq, hundreds of veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, along with their families and Vietnam Veterans, Gulf War I veterans and other veterans, Iraqi and Afghani victims of the occupations, and parents who have lost their sons and daughters in these wars, will be gathering for four painful days of recounting the realities of the wars. Will you help them?

Thank you,
