In only three years, IAVA has become the most influential organization representing Iraq and Afghanistan veterans in Washington. We've been out in front on a wide array of important policy issues, from body armor shortages to funding for veterans' hospitals. In spring 2007, IAVA launched our Washington DC office - and we're already seeing great results. Click on the links at the left to see our work, and our progress so far.

Our 2008 Legislative Agenda contains our 31 major recommendations Congress can take to show real support for the troops. To see the legislation in Congress that we've endorsed this session, check out our Current Legislation section. You can also read and download IAVA Issue Reports - independent, nonpartisan, and up-to-date research on the major issues facing Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.
