the little things

 It all starts with the little things.

 
Pick a day of the week to wear your IVAW shirt. If everyone did this then there
would not be a day that there would be a IVAW walking around our area. If you
don't have one let me know and I'll call the office to get you one.
 
Use our ability to sniff out other vets. Ask them if the heard of the group
Iraq Veterans Against the War. If the ansewer is no, reply with, Well you know of 
us now. Walk away cool.
 
If at school, then take all the military recruitment material and recycle it. Recycle 
it at home. 
 
Take a few minutes to start your profile on ivaw.org. And join our Facebook group.
 
These four little things can make a huge difference. I know we all have a reason why
we joined IVAW in the first place. Look to that. 
 
What do ya'll think?
 
       peace, hart
