ACTIVE

ACTIVE is launching a very important ACTIVE Operation, a permanent fundraising effort for Michael Yon, whose stories from the frontlines have earned him the reputation as the premier independent combat journalist and photographer of his generation. His work has been featured on “Good Morning America,” CNN, ABC, FOX, and in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Weekly Standard, The New York Post, as well as hundreds of other major media outlets all around the world. Michael is scheduled to be a weekly guest on “The Jihadi Killer Hour”, bringing live updates from the front lines of the surge in Afghanistan. Last Sunday’s interview took place as a firefight blazed in the near distance.

His work has been submitted for three separate Pulitzer Prizes, in photography and reporting categories, and continues to garner awards and acclaim from both mainstream and alternative media organizations.

Michael values his independence and the credibility it brings him with the people who trust Michael with their stories and those who trust him to report the truth: good, bad & ugly.

But this work is both dangerous and incredibly expensive and without a steady level of income through the continued support and contributions of readers it will be impossible for him to continue his mission in Afghanistan and reporting on the victory in Iraq.

If support does not substantially increase Michael Yon will be forced to abandon war reporting in September.

There is NO OTHER truly honest, independent voice willing to share the stories of our brave men & women who serve with honor and dignity in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now, more than ever, while this administration is controlling the message and the media, it is VITAL that Michael continue his independent “boots on the ground” coverage in Afghanistan.

When you financially support Michael’s work and his mission, you also support the mission of our troops and their coalition partners.
