Hundreds of war veterans descended on Capitol Hill Tuesday to make their voices heard.

The group "Vets for Freedom" is made up of soldiers who served in Afghanistan and Iraq.

They came to Washington to persuade Congress on how vital it is to win in Iraq and to make sure they take their cue from the generals on the ground. S

Sen. Joe Lieberman heared their message loud and clear.," he said. "You have stuck with the cause of freedom and as a result we are not only today winning in iraq, we are winning here at home.  Do not underestimate the contribution you have made on the political battlefield here at home."

Sen. John McCain also spoke with the veterans.
