Survey for OIF and OEF Vets and Their Families

If you are a Veteran of OIF or OEF, or the loved one of a Vet, please click here to participate in an important survey. The survey answers are going to be put together to build a Congressional Packet - a packet of information from Veterans and their families telling Congress what we need to survive and thrive after combat. The survey will take 20 - 40 minutes and your answers will make a difference. Please help us make the changes necessary to improve your quality of life and the lives of the almost 2 million Veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and their families.

Interesting facts about me

Wife of an OIF Vet whom I love dearly. We were high school sweethearts and have been married almost 10 years.

Mom to an adorable 2-1/2 yr old daughter who is an amazing bundle of energy, love, & inspiration.

Founder of FamilyofaVet.com - started because I found that too many "new" veteran families were floundering without enough support or real-life information, especially about PTSD.

Member of Vietnam Veteran Wives - an organization that has done so much to help our family figure out how to cope with PTSD and the "after shocks" of combat.

Also, a wiz at small business marketing, websites, & graphic design. Any Vets or families who own businesses, I'll be glad to work out a "friends & family" discount! ComeGrowWithUs.biz.

Last, but not least, a passionate patriot, devoted to speaking out for our Veterans, their spouses, and children so that no combat hero, home fire hero, or tiny hero goes unthanked or unhelped!!

Join Yuku to Support VBN

I didn't know until recently that VBN (the Veteran's Benefit Network) is not free... that Vol (the site owner) has to pay for our use of the board based on how many pages, posts, etc. Anyway, I was using the board assuming that it was free. When I found out it wasn't, I wanted to support VBN since it's been such a HUGE support to our family. So, if this is new info for you, and you'd like to join Yuku so that all your posts, etc., are free for Vol, just hit the "FAQ" link at the bottom of any board page and then follow the link to "Learn about Yuku Supporter individual user subscriptions." It only costs $12/year. A bargain if you ask me!!!

FYI - I found out sort of by accident about this, because the guys & gals that run the board are never going to ask you to join. And, I have no "ulterior" motive for tellling you this (I don't get any portion, etc.). I just really think that if you're using the board on a normal basis and can afford to, that it's important to support VBN and help Vol keep it going.
