The USGLC has launched its Veterans for Smart Power movement, an effort to enlist America’s greatest heroes for the greatest mission yet: supporting a foreign policy that elevates diplomacy and development alongside defense as the three pillars of American foreign policy. We’re proud to announce thousands of veterans and their supporters have signed-on to this cause in just one week, helping elevate the military voice on this important issue. If you haven’t seen it already, here’s a video on why supporting smart power is the right thing to do.

Sign the petition to Congress urging Members to support a smart power national security strategy that invests in non-military tools of development and diplomacy. While you’re at it, be sure and join the Facebook discussion with thousands of other veterans and their supporters to show you know first-hand that a strong military is essential to keep America safe, but that military alone cannot defeat today’s global threats.
