Iraq Veterans Volunteer on Behalf of War’s Victims
February 18, 2009
An increasing number of U.S. veterans returning from the Middle East are mounting charitable efforts to assist Iraqi civilians injured, displaced, or otherwise affected by the war, The Boston Globe reports.
While organizations started by returning fighters generally champion veterans’ causes, some Iraq War veterans have raised money or started nonprofit groups to aid Iraqi schools and hospitals, distribute food, and foster cultural understanding, the Globe reports. One such effort, Collaborative Revolution, organizes social events for Iraqis who have managed to relocate to America.
