Fight For Veterans
Fight For Veterans
Thank you for joining the fight! We feel it is radically unjust how millions of our United States veterans are treated. They sacrificed their dreams, bodies and even their lives to stand in the gap for us. We think it's time to fight for them! They need us now more than ever before.
What you may not know about our vets:
There are more than 19.3 million U.S. veterans and 9.4 million are older than 65.
Approximately 49,933 are homeless and 50% suffer from service related disabilities. Two thirds deal with substance abuse problems.
At least one in five veterans has PTSD as a result of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.
At least 22 U.S veterans commit suicide every day… which is 1 every 65 minutes. About thirty percent of all vets have considered suicide.
One in every 5 suicides taking place nationally is a veteran.

by David Wayne Mathias
On a plane to Atlanta, I had the privilege and true honor of sitting next to the Chaplain of Military Order of the Purple Heart, Jimmy Young. This American hero is the epitome of what “Conversation With A Soldier” was written about, and it was a pleasure speaking to him. Needless to say, I could have listened to his stories all day…
