This Giving Tuesday, IVA is giving you something money can't buy: clarity about where the next generation of leaders is coming from. The 2025 Winners Circle Town Hall brings together victorious independent veteran candidates, plus leaders running for the U.S. Senate and other offices.

Big news out of Tennessee's 7th: Independent Veterans of America is endorsing Army combat veteran, air ambulance pilot, and economist Jon Thorp for the Dec 2 special election to Congress. 🇺🇸 https://independentveteransofamerica.org/

When political leaders accuse veterans of “sedition” for standing up for the Constitution, it's clear we've reached a dangerous crossroads. IVA rejects all violent, extreme rhetoric. Our mission: Restore principled, independent leadership—country over party, always.

Join us for IVA's online townhall hosted by Paul Rieckhoff. Hear how victors like Mike Procuk & Toby Proctor, plus Independent Senate candidates Dan Osborn, Ty Pinkins, Brian Bengs, and Todd Achilles are remaking American politics. RSVP: https://independentveteransofamerica.org/COS25/

Celebrate service and victory with IVA's online event—hosted by Paul Rieckhoff. See how veterans like Mike Procuk & Toby Proctor are transforming their communities—then find out how YOU can run with the pack. Register here for free now: https://independentveteransofamerica.org/COS25/

Independent veterans are winning—and so is America. IVA proudly announces victories for Mike Procuk in Frederick County, VA (School Board) and Toby Proctor in North Granby, CT (Board of Finance). These victories show the power of putting country over party.

Election Day: a choice between the tired herd mentality or running with the pack. If you're in Fayetteville, Arlington, Frederick County, or North Granby, your independent veteran leader is on the ballot.

This is how you build a future worth fighting for. IVA is proud to endorse Kathy Greggs (NC) & Carlos De Castro Pretelt (VA) for office in 2025. These veterans are the cavalry America's been waiting for—ready to lead, unify, and disrupt the broken two-party system.

🌟 Ready for new leadership in North Granby? Vote for Toby Proctor—Navy veteran, lifelong public servant, and strong independent voice running for Board of Finance. He's standing up to the two-party system, fighting for fiscal responsibility, and putting community first.

Veterans don't wait for others to lead. We step up. Today, meet the latest independent veteran to answer the call: Mike Procuk, U.S. Army Veteran, dad, youth coach, and no-bullshit leader running to bring Frederick County, Virginia's School Board back to the people.

America's independent veterans are on the move—and IVA just endorsed three new leaders to prove it. These candidates are the tip of the spear in a rising movement fighting for open primaries, nonpartisan governance, and country over party. Veterans know the mission.

We're looking for a few good men. And women. Independent veterans who are interested in continuing to serve. Independent vets who are willing to step up. And independent vets and allies that want to support those that do. The future is now. #LeaveTheHerds. #RunWithThePack.🐺🇺🇸🎆

On September 2, 2025, the 80th anniversary of Japan's formal surrender, a powerful ceremony honored more than 1,000 US troops who died as prisoners of war—service members who endured unimaginable suffering and sacrifice.

🇺🇸Happy Birthday America! Help us elect independent veterans who will fight for this county and make it better for all of us. And keep the spirit of independence alive. Not just on July 4th. But EVERY DAY.🇺🇸 https://secure.anedot.com/independent-veterans-of-america-action/donate

🇺🇸FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Independent Veterans of America (IVA) is honored to announce that television icon and distinguished Navy veteran leader Montel Williams has joined our IVA Advisory Committee.

It's been another week of chaos from Washington, and the LA riots have thrust our military directly into the middle of all of it. From active duty Marines deployed on US soil for the first time since the civil rights era, to the National Guard being activated in Texas, to Army tanks in DC for...

Especially after the last week of partisan madness, it's a good time to leave the herds and run with the pack.🐺🇺🇸

81 years ago today, thousands of heroic young men poured onto the beaches of Normandy and risked everything to save the world. Their sacrifices are the stuff of legend. They fought, and in many cases died, to preserve the idea that freedom and democracy were more important than anything else....

Republicans have gone off the rails. And Democrats can't win. But Independent veterans can. Especially for the US Senate in 2026. The New York Times reached out to find out why our IVA candidates are different, why they can win, and how we are seriously shaking things up in ways that are...

Memorial Day is about much more than BBQs and baseball games. It's the day when many Americans go to the beach, and many veterans and their families go to the cemetery. It's a time for reflection, for appreciation, for independence, and for unity. A time for veterans of all generations to...

“This is an epically stupid and insulting idea. Especially if you understand that Veterans Day recognizes every generation of living veterans—not just one. And that every American combat veteran didn't have an experience that ended in victory. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan—none of these...

It's Vietnam War Veteran Day today. And veterans everywhere are under attack. By DOGE and an anti DEI agenda that is erasing the history so many Vietnam War veterans earned with their lives. And an attack on one is an attack on all. Have their backs. Defend their legacies. Honor their...

🐺🇺🇸You've probably seen it by now. And when you did, it probably boiled your blood. The new partisan political leadership at the Department of Defense erased Army veteran and American hero Jackie Robinson from DoD websites. It's shameful, it's outrageous, and it's bad for...
