A few months ago I wrote about Operation Free, a growing group of U.S. veterans advocating for a clean energy future and climate legislation, so in honor of Veteran’s Day I wanted to share with you a video of some of the organization’s members touring the country by bus to raise awareness of the threat that these issues pose to national security.

As we reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who have served in the United States armed services this Veteran’s Day, we should also consider how we can help those who are currently serving.  By telling Congress to support renewable clean energy and to pass legislation to combat climate change, we can help minimize the likelihood that service members will have to intervene in climate-related disasters or conflicts over oil, water and other natural resources.  Watch the video below to hear first hand the importance of supporting clean energy and use the Act section to find out how you can support the veterans of Operation Free:
