This site, started by a sailor currently in Baghdad and run by and for those serving in the military, is an appeal in support of our mission in Iraq. This is an authorized means for active duty military to submit a grievance to Congress. It can be signed by Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard military personnel.

Appeal for Courage is a non-partisan, grass-roots effort to communicate to Congress the troops' desire to remain in Iraq until our mission is complete. We feel calls to retreat embolden our enemy and hurt our support within the American public and Iraqi people. We accept no funding from any source, and do not speak for any group or organization other than those military members who have signed the Appeal.

As the appeal opposing the mission has been given more and more publicity and congress gears up for another round of debates on the battle in Iraq and threatens to cut off funding for the troops this appeal has become important.

Please spread the word about an appeal for redress that people in the military can sign to show support for the mission:
