4,000 by the 4th!
By Matt | July 1, 2009
This is outside the realm of longboards, but this is something that is close to my heart. Some of you may not know this, but I served in the United States Air Force for 6 years flying on a specialized C130H. I served some time in Afghanistan and now I am a member of a veterans group called the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America or IAVA for short.
IAVA has only been in existence for a couple years, but has already made huge strides in getting the proper aid for Veterans like myself. I received a newsletter today with a new video attached with the same title as this blog article, 4,000 by the 4th. This is IAVA’s goal. To accumulate 4,000 views of this video before our Independence Day. Its a very well done piece and shows how a new breed of organization is using the internet and social networking to accomplish huge things that were once thought impossible.
Please check out this vid and help “us” get the 4,000 views we are looking for. Cheers and thanks in advance.

Hooyah! I was in the Air Force too, Crash/Fire Rescue and served during Operation Enduring Freedom. Thanks for the link. It’s nice to know that a group of people finally realize that veterans of OEF and the Afghan campaign need help. And yet somewhat sad that the military isn’t doing enough for those that have served honorably. Thanks Matt.

Ahoy Matey! I was a Surface Rescue Swimmer in the Navy and you got my view.
Yeah, and if you ever say “Ahoy Matey” to someone in the Navy you might get some funny looks. ^_^
Thanks for sharing…
