"As the son of a disabled veteran, I understand first hand the struggles veterans face with healthcare, life assistance and the feelings of abandonment. I want to be the fighter who brings veterans inspiration and purpose. I will bring a sense of meaning to their lives. Losing my father left a void and I am filling it with passion to help others."
"I miss you"
"As a practitioner who has deep investment in applied research in order to change the dialogue in our communities, this project addresses one of our historically marginalized populations- military veterans. We seek to make an impact through dual goals- better understanding veterans in crisis, and providing a resource which can potentially prevent harm."
"I was raised by a Vietnam Veteran Marine parent that has survived multiple cancer treatments due to the exposure of lethal chemicals during the time he served our country. The sacrifices our veterans have made deserve our effort in supporting their challenges."
"My dad, an Air Force veteran, raised me to be grateful for the sacrifices of the men and women who proudly serve. I hope one day to be worthy of their protection."
"My father, a veteran, and my son, a career officer in the military, have taught me the value of the men and women who have served our country. As such, it is my goal to come along side our veterans and preventatively help them gain a sense of control in their lives."
