The mission of The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project is to help identify, support and implement the various needs of the men and women of America’s armed forces returning from service.  We owe them an unpayable debt of gratitude.

After many years of service, and for some, multiple deployments, the journey home can be a complex process based on the issues of being away from family, friends, and home.  Health, both physical and mental, education, and employment are just a few of the many issues both returning vets and families are faced with.

It is our passion to be a beacon of light to direct the veteran (and or family) in the best possible direction to facilitate these needs.

With many years of experience working with various foundations that provide this type of support, our goal is to identify the best of the best, to not only be good stewards of donated dollars, but to seek the best assistance available for our veterans.  It is a critical mission that needs every American that enjoys the freedoms we share, to participate. They’ve earned it.

The organization was co-founded in 2014 by the late country music legend Charlie Daniels and his manager, David Corlew. Board members include Corlew, Major General Terry “Max” Haston (retired) and most recently in 2020, Hazel Daniels. Conscious of the need to assist our nation’s veterans, TCDJHP partners with organizations that do the most good, with the least overhead.

The Journey Home Project partners with various organizations to support veterans in unique ways, recognizing that each soldier’s journey home is distinct. They collaborate with entities like War Horses for Veterans and the Charlie and Hazel Daniels Veterans and Military Family Center to provide personalized services such as equine therapy, mental health counseling, and transition assistance. These partnerships help veterans and their families reintegrate into civilian life, offering tailored resources and support to meet their specific needs.
