If you sign on to Facebook today and "Like" the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America's Page, you can gain access to an app that will allow you to turn over your status -- from November 8 until November 11 -- to the troops.

Simply choose your state (the state with the most donated statuses will send two veterans to the Super Bowl), frequency that you would like to update, which statuses you will be donating (Facebook or Twitter) and ask your friends to join in as well.

The app also features a ton of resources for Vets, as well as a leaderboard showing which states have the most "marchers."

Regardless of politics, we think this is a cool way to rally people to support a cause. Invoke has been involved in a number of similar campaigns in the past -- F**ck Cancer and The Moscars spring to mind -- and this is just another example of an organization creatively leveraging social networks to make a statement.
