			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) has partnered with the Ad Council to launch a national multimedia public service advertising campaign (PSA) along with a new social networking Web site geared exclusively toward Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.</p>
<p>The new Web site <a title="Social Network Veterans" href="http://communityofveterans.org/">CommunityofVeterans.org</a>, provides information that can help veterans with transitional and readjustment issues, including a searchable database of national and local resources on topics such as jobs, education and health.</p>
<p><center><img title="Social Network Launches For Iraq And Afghanistan Veterans" alt="Social Network Launches For Iraq And Afghanistan Veterans" src="http://images.ientrymail.com/webpronews/article_pics/veteran-website.jpg" border="0" style="margin: 4px;"></center>
<p>CommunityofVeterans.org aims to foster connections among veterans and allow them to communicate with each other. The Web site and private community were developed by BarkleyREI.</p>
<p>&quot;Less than 1 percent of the U.S. population has served in the current conflicts and it&#8217;s critical that returning troops are able to connect with people who understand what they&#8217;ve been through. The PSAs and groundbreaking social networking site will go a long way toward helping these heroes readjust,&quot; said Paul Rieckhoff, Executive Director, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.</p>
<p>The new PSAs and Website have been researched and tested with veterans, their familes and the public. MTV has made a commitment to support the new campaign through primetime content and on their social media channel, ThinkMTV.</p>
<p>AOL has also donated its resources to design the campaign&#8217;s Web banners and has made a commitment along with Google to support the ads on Veterans Day and in the coming months.</p>
<p>Beginning this week, an integrated social media program will promote the campaing on popular social networking sites and blogs targeted to service members andd their families.</p>
