Get Your Iraq War Flyers & Leaflets Here! Become The Media
At the link below you can download flyers on a wide range of issues that relate to the War in Iraq.

Here is an example of what one says there are many to choose from at the link below. Make copies and distribute all around town. BECOME THE MEDIA.

FROM HERO TO HOMELESS

Noel looks out the window of his new Bronx apartment.
For 25-year-old Herold Noel, this winter,
like the war, has not been kind.

When "Iraqi Freedom" began, Private First Class Herold Noel was a soldier in the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division, pounding a path into Baghdad. “I fought for this country,” he said. “I shed blood for this country. I watched friends die.”
Like so many, Herold Noel came home a hero, but he wound up homeless.

He started living out of the back of his jeep when most of his clothes and all of his military medals were stolen at a homeless shelter.

As many as 275,000 veterans will likely sleep out in the cold tonight.

"Why weren't all the lessons of Vietnam learned this time? So there wouldn't be any homeless veterans?" Pitts wanted to know. "Most of the veterans that we're seeing have a mental health and a substance abuse problem," said Peter Dougherty of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Herold was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Unemployed, married with three kids, he couldn't get a job. “The physical war is over. The mental war has just begun,” he said.

“I put applications in. I did all that. They lost my application three f^&@# times!”

This time a city housing agency has given him the runaround yet again. “What are you telling me man? I have three kids out there man! I fought for my country man. My country shouldn't be doing this to me.”

It's terrible to know that he's not the only one crying in his car.

Still, Herold Noel is one of the luckier ones. Just recently an anonymous donor heard Herold's story and is paying his rent for a year. Tonight, one Iraq War veteran is off the street. But somewhere soon, another could well take his place.
