Victory tour coming soon!
Just recently I heard of an event the pro-troop organization “Move America Forward” is planning this Fall. Starting September 3rd the “Fight For Victory” tour will be holding more than two dozen rallies across the States, ending with a rally on September 15th; the day General David Petraeus will give his report to Congress on Iraq.
Similar to Micah Derry’s “Operation Completion” rallies, the event was created for the intent of rousing patriotism and bringing supporters together to display our support of the mission in Iraq and Afghanistan. The rallies will begin their route across the States in California and end in Washington D.C. I think these types of events is just what some apathetic American citizens need in order to get excited, involved, and encouraged to come together in mutual support of our troops who have given so much.
The event will be led by veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as well as families of deceased or deployed service members. Thousands of Americans already have signed up to take part in the rallies, and I’m excited to see where this massive patriotic effort will lead.

Hi! I just found your blog through Maidens of Worth, and just wanted to say how much I've been encouraged and inspired by what you've posted! I come from a family deeply rooted in the military (my grandfather even fought in WW2!), and I also lived up in a military town until 2 years ago. It gets pretty discouraging when I see all these people being so unpatriotic, because I know the price that has been paid for them to be able to say that. It's always refreshing for me to find someone who truly cares about our soldiers! I'm putting a link to your blog up on mine....I'm coming back here often! :D
A sister in the Lord,

That's awesome! Operation Completion only ran for a year, so I was hoping someone would do something similar.
