Dottie Guy

My name is Dottie Guy and in 2000 when I was 18, I joined the Virginia Army National Guard before I was activated on 9/11. I spent almost 2 years on active duty at Fort Belvoir, Aberdeen Proving Grounds and in Baghdad in 2003. I joined IVAW because I do not feel as if I was serving the needs of my country while in Iraq and that goes against the reasons that I enlisted. IVAW has given me an outlet to live up to my oath of enlistment by protecting the rights of veterans and to end wars that exploit our military and helps contractors make money hand over fist at our expense. I believe that the military is doing a disservice to vets by sending them back to war zones with documented issues such as PTSD, TBI, and MST and not treating us with the care that we are entitled to when we return. It's shameful that vets have to wait months for treatment and years for compensation when we keep pouring money into wars that seemingly will have no end.
