Help Servicemen, Veterans, and their Families

"I was severely injured in Afghanistan and could not afford nor sit in a car long enough to get back to my hometown and family," says Stephen. Like many other wounded veterans, Stephen wouldn't have been able to travel between specialized treatment centers and home without the help of organizations like Veterans Airlift Command.

"My 8 and 9 year old boys went with me to pick up a soldier in New York and take him to Tampa. I had no idea what an impact this lift has made on my life and a long lasting impact with my children. They know what it means to be a hero but more importantly they learned how to be his hero and friend."

Background

Since the formation of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps in 1775, honorable men and women have fought for the freedom, safety, and ideals of our country. Yet then and now, soldiers returning home have not always received the best treatment or opportunities despite their courageous military service.

Over the course of a year, nearly 130,000 veterans experience homelessness. An estimated 11-20% of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans will develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Fortunately, there are over 27,000 organizations supporting soldiers, veterans, and military families across the country. You can support our troops and veterans by packing care packages, volunteering at a local VA hospital, or working with a local veteran or military nonprofit.
