Defending Veterans

Given how heartbreaking it is to see a veteran be taken advantage of, we’d like to look at some instances of people stepping up and helping veterans and their families.

This young boy worked to build a new mobility device for this disabled 25-year veteran.

Veteran Housing

Veteran housing is a huge issue that isn’t talked about enough, but there are some Americans that are stepping up and doing their part to help out.

We can’t forget our furry friends who help our veterans in need of companionship!

Veterans experience suicidal thoughts at a higher percentage than many other groups. Instead of stigma and shame, we should work to show our bravest that there is hope and healing in their futures.
