Over 1.8 million service members and veterans have served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Without a plan to bring them home, the consequences are clear: record-high unemployment, increasing substance abuse, domestic violence, failed marriages, homelessness, and suicide.

But that's not acceptable.

Along with leading veteran service organizations, nonprofits, government agencies, businesses, and universities we're saying, “Enough.”

We all have a role in ensuring veterans a healthy homecoming. Join the Campaign for Healthy Homecoming and find yours!
