This week, 30 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans took Capitol Hill by storm. Hailing from 14 different states, they brought diverse military, professional and personal experiences from the battlefield to Washington, D.C. And they made a huge impact.

Our teams (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot and Golf) met with the First Lady at the White House. And they sat down with over 100 Congressional offices and leaders at the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. They shared their stories, their challenges and their hopes for results from Washington.
