Since September 11th, more than 1.8 million Americans, or less than 1 percent of the population, have served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But for far too many, coming home from war has been a challenge.

Today, veterans are facing new battles at home trying to navigate a complex VA health care system, access mental health care treatment for combat stress, or find a job to support their families in an uncertain economy. 

As Americans, we have an obligation to support these men and women and to ensure our nation’s newest generation of veterans receives:

• access to top-notch health care
• a chance to pursue a quality education on the new GI Bill
• a fair chance at a good job

Click here to help O.A.R. and IAVA raise awareness about these issues and honor the tremendous sacrifices that our troops, veterans, and their families have and continue to make for our country.
