Capt. Luis Montalvan PTSD for 17 years of service

After returning from two tours of duty in Iraq, Capt. Luis Montalvan is the highest ranking member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. Despite post-traumatic stress disorder, he is campaigning to expose the Iraq War's grim realities. He has been branded a coward and traitor, but this recipient of the Purple Heart is on a mission to expose what he calls "incompetent" leadership in the highest ranks of the military.

Capt. Luis Montalvan's site

This site is created to chronicle my experiences, both in Iraq and in the United States, ever since the Iraq War began. It's also part of an ongoing effort, including recent articles in The New York Times and The Washington Post, to distinguish the truths about the War in Iraq from the demoralizing and damaging illusions that obscure its realities. Those realities include a significant number of American leaders who have compromised our national security to further their own self-serving agendas. The resources here are dedicated to the memories of Iraqi and American patriots who sacrificed all for duty, honor and country and for the many civilians who have suffered.

May we never forget that for virtue and humanism to prevail, deeds must follow thoughts and words. Citizens must stand and speak their minds to hold those leaders accountable for their actions. Indeed, that is the only way we will ever hope to have a society that reflects our principles and ideals.
