Family Security Matters is promoting a heros tour for veterans as a reminder of what we have achieved in Iraq and who did the achieving (an no Barack it was not those calling for surrender):

From The Alamo in Texas to the WWI Memorial in Kansas City, and from the Statehouse in South Carolina to an hour on CNN with Glenn Beck in New York City, the Vets for Freedom National Heroes Tour is taking shape and gathering momentum.

Veterans across the country are helping fill the Tour schedule and get the word out. It promises to be an exciting-and influential-three weeks.

…

The political reconciliation that the Surge was meant to facilitate is happening. The Iraqi people are taking advantage of the dramatic security gains to make political compromises.

Even the New York Times had this to say on their front page: “More than any previous legislation, the new initiatives have the potential to spur reconciliation between Sunnis and Shiites and set the country on the road to a more representative government, starting with new provincial elections.” Need I say more?

All the objectives of the surge-by any measure-have been achieved: violence has dropped dramatically, the Iraqi civil war is over, al Qaeda has been decimated, and Iraqi politicians are working for political reconciliation.

It’s imperative that we do everything we can to ensure that these gains are solidified, and that we continue to support the judgments of the commanders on the ground. General Petraeus will be in Washington, DC in April, and Vets for Freedom will be there to support him.

I suggest folks head over to the FSM site and see if there is anything you want to do to participate. The event schedule is here, and the tour begins in Sand Diego on March 14th and crosses the country to end up in DC (April 8th), and finally NY City (April 9th) – two of the locations of the 9-11 attacks. It should offer and interesting counter-point to the raging Democrat SurrenderFest.
