Program Over View:

Finding closure through telling one's story is difficult to achieve and the deeper truths remain untold; the deeper pain remain unprocessed.

Eventually, many veterans lock up their authentic stories deep inside their "inner vault" and stop talking. Does this describe your experience?

It's time for veterans stories to be heard. The Journey offers a safe place where veterans and civilians want to hear you. They offer you empathy for your painful journey and total support for your healing.

The Vet's Journey Home invites veterans to come all the way home and find out that they are not alone. There are many who care about you--who are willing to walk point, be at your side, and cover your back. This time, you'll be coming home together with other veterans, and welcomed with respect and honor.

All combat veterans are urged to attend. The Vet's Journey Home is also recommended for incountry and offshore non combatant Vietnam veterans.

Additionally, all combat zone veterans from any era are urged to consider attending. Both men and women vets may attend the Vet's Journey Home.
