Behind every statistic lies a story, a hero who served. Did you know there are 21 million American veterans, with 16.6 million having served during wartime? Yet, 3.6 million live with service-connected disabilities. Shockingly, almost half lack access to vital services. It's time to change that narrative. Join us in making a difference. 💙 #ourmission #veterans #militaryfamilies #armyveteran #veteran #nonprofitorganization #veteransupport #veteranassistance

There’s a category of #military brats that are especially deserving of the nation’s recognition, gratitude, and serious study: the roughly 2 million Post-9/11 military children who experienced at least one if not multiple parental deployments—most often to theaters of #war—in the 20yr period after 2001. Already by 2011 (the formal end of the Iraq War), more than 4,300 of these children had had a parent killed in the Iraq & Afghanistan wars. As of 2015, that number had reached some 5,000. It’s difficult to know exactly how many American military kids are survivors or orphans of troops who were killed in the line of duty during the #GWOT, or who they are, let alone the total numbers of children survivors of all those who’ve served in the Post-9/11 era: There does not appear to be any type of database or central repository of information from which to find them. Surveying the past 35 years with the Lucas Group, however, the nonprofit Fallen Patriots has estimated that approximately 25,000 children have lost an active duty parent during that time (whether from accident, illness, hostilities, or suicide). The majority of these fatalities were their fathers. We owe a debt to these military children that goes far beyond media pronouncements and themed events once a year in April.

Throwback to earlier this month when the GoVA team was in Washington D.C. for the NCRC #JustEconomy Conference! We had a great time representing the military community in the nationwide conversation about affordable housing for underserved groups. We're already looking forward to our next trip, which will be to Denver next week for #MilMoneyCon.
