Vets for
Victory - Dedicated to Winning the War on Terror!
In President George W. Bush's words, "our Nation - this
generation - will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future.
We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will
not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail."
"The rise of a free and
self-governing Iraq would deny terrorists a base of operation, discredit their
narrow ideology, and give momentum to reformers across the region. This would be
a decisive blow to terrorism at the heart of its power, and a victory for the
security of America and the civilized world."
George W. Bush
- May 24th, 2004.

"We will always
remember. We will always be proud. We will
always be prepared, so we may always be free."

Star-Spangled Banner:
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight'
For the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
For the land of the free and the home of the brave...
