History and Organization
Soldiers for the Truth grew out of the regular opinion pieces written by David H. Hackworth from the early 1990s on, originally titled "Defending America". Though donations are solicited from readers, Col. Hackworth also used the profits from his own book sales to help fund the organization. Weekly email newsletters were composed by a group of like-minded veterans, their friends and spouses, including R.W. Zimmermann, Bill Rogers, Kate Aspy, Barry "Woody" Groton, Ed "Edgar" Schneider, and Kyle Elliot. Later contributors included author and civilian security analyst Paul Purcell, and Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, a whistleblower who criticised the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans as "Orwellian". Other authors included former Editor in Chief Ed Offley, Paul Connors, Matt Dodd and Roger Perry.
As of 2007, the foundation's board includes Hackworth's widow Eilhys England, Maj. John Falcon, US Army Retired and Lt. Col. Gary Stahlhut, US Army Reserve Retired.
