The Iraq War Veterans Organization, or IWVO, was founded on April 12, 2003, by Russell K. Terry and William T. Hutchison. The original intent of the organization was to ensure that veterans returning from the war in Iraq, would not be subjected to the same treatment of veterans from the Vietnam war, in which both Terry and Hutchison served. ==Mission statement== The current mission statement of the organization, from their website, states 〔(Iraq War Veterans Organization - Welcome Home Operation Iraqi Freedom Veterans )〕 * To promote the social welfare of the community (that is, to promote in some way, the common good and general welfare of the people of the community); * To assist disabled and needy war veterans and members of the U. S. Armed Forces and their dependents and the widows and orphans of deceased veterans; * To provide entertainment, care, and assistance to hospitalized veterans or members of the U.S. Armed Forces; * To carry on programs to perpetuate the memory of deceased veterans and members of the Armed Forces and to comfort their survivors; * To conduct programs for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes; * To sponsor or participate in activities of a patriotic nature; * To provide insurance benefits for its members or dependents of its members or both; or * To provide social and recreational activities for its members. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iraq War Veterans Organization」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
