Vets for Freedom has done a fabulous job encouraging support for our soldiers overseas during the past year. The veterans, many of whom served in Iraq and Afghanistan, have now launched a new project to continue their positive message of victory.

From March 14-April 8th, part of the group will travel the country on what they have deemed the National Heroes Tour. They begin in San Diego and end on Capitol Hill to top it off with their second annual "Vets on the Hill" event. Last year the Capitol Hill Event brought hundreds together to celebrate America's veterans and hear speeches from American leaders like Sen. John McCain and Sen. Joe Leiberman.
