Help Veterans Transition to Civilian Life

People who have served in the military are an integral part of our community. They are our mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. They are our neighbors, friends, co-workers, and colleagues. They helped us; now they need our help. Transitioning from military service and returning to civilian life isn’t easy. It can present certain challenges for Veterans, their families, and others.   According to the Department of Defense, about 1,300 military service members, spouses and children transition into civilian communities each day.
