Do you have plans for Veterans Day, next Tuesday, November 11th? If you're hosting or attending an event in your neighborhood, take a minute to tell us about it here, and we'll help spread the word to other people in your area.

November 11th is an incredibly important day- a time to honor the men and women who have bravely served our country in uniform. Our online events tool makes it easy for you to connect with others in your neighborhood who want to show their support.

Please take a minute to post your Veterans Day event here, and then use the tool to invite your friends.

Last year, over a hundred events were posted on our event site. From parades and picnics to baseball games and BBQs, civilians and veterans alike gathered around the country to celebrate the service of those in the armed forces. Tell us about your event here, and we'll help you get the word out by posting it on our site - it only takes a minute.

If you're going to be in New York City the following day- November 12th- I'd like to invite you to attend IAVA's Second Annual Heroes Gala.

At the Gala, we will honor the extraordinary service of Warrior Champions Scott Winkler and Carlos Leon, along with the Chairman of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Arnold Fisher. We will be joined by leading members of the veterans' community and IAVA Supporters, as well as special guest Henry Rollins. You might even walk away with one of the incredible prizes available at the Silent Auction- including VIP tickets to the Colbert Report, a private trip on a Sea Plane or an original Doonesbury pen and ink drawing by Garry Trudeau.

The gala promises to be an amazing event and I'd like to invite you, as an IAVA Supporter, to attend. To purchase your ticket, visit IAVAHeroesGala.org. If you are unable to join us, please consider a donation of any amount towards a ticket for a veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan.

Thank you for honoring our country's heroes.

Sincerely,

Paul Rieckhoff
