“On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind.”

In times of war, soldiers promise to never leave one another behind. But when they return home, it becomes our responsibility as a nation to ensure no veteran is left behind. As we count down to Veterans Day, let’s remember that our veterans deserve support—whether it’s through employment, healthcare, or simply listening to their stories. Let’s make a collective promise to lift them up in their journey home.

As part of the Countdown to Veterans Day, The Journey Home Project is raising awareness of the challenges veterans face as they return to civilian life. Every day, an estimated 22 veterans tragically take their own lives—likely even more—due to the immense burdens they carry. Join us in sharing their stories and supporting The Journey Home Project or your favorite veteran charity. Your contributions can make a difference for those who have sacrificed so much.
