According to recent estimates, 22 veterans kill themselves each day. We need to do better.

America’s armed forces and American society are drifting further and further apart, creating a potentially dangerous divide.

Veterans are in need of a conversation about who they are, with the goal of being understood, not diminished.

‘The National Guard continues to be called up to combat problems that are largely caused by policy decisions made by the politicians doing the calling.’

‘Deploying was my only love until I met you.’

‘Leaders who consider these straightforward principles are forearmed and better prepared to mitigate the impact of unexpected and unpredictable events.’
