Every year, 200,000 veterans transition from military service to civilian life
Many veterans say that transition to civilian life is the biggest obstacle they’ve ever faced. It’s a challenging time that often results in…
Loss of identity
Lack of purpose
Feelings of isolation
When you tell your story, you are much more resilient to cope with the stresses of military transition and lead our communities here at home.
Storytelling is how you…
Heal
Telling your story will help you take your combat trauma and use it to heal your mind and quiet your soul.
Inform
Telling your story will capture your leadership wisdom as a veteran and turn it into a narrative that helps civilians make sense of their own struggles.
Reconnect
Telling your story will help bridge the civil-military gap and create a shared perspective throughout your community and country.

We need to tell the story of the sacrifice of our veterans.
We also need to tell the story of the relationships and love that our veterans have with the Afghan people, particularly as they come here to become our newest citizens.
Together, we can heal the wounds that have been affected on our combat veterans, our military families, and our Afghan allies as we come home from the longest war in history.
It’s time for storytelling. It’s time to heal. It’s time for LAST OUT.
We Need Your Help!
As tough as this past year and a half has been on many of us, our warriors abroad, our veterans, and their families, and the First Responder community are all facing immense challenges. Despite the fear, uncertainty, and division affecting our nation, our warriors have never wavered. Meanwhile, we are losing even more of our veterans to suicide, depression, and a range of other mental health issues as they fight to navigate the immense gaps of transition from the military or civil service.
Please join The Heroes Journey in our fight to help warriors find their voice through purposeful storytelling. Your donation at any level can help us make a great difference to our warriors in a time of crisis.
Right now, no one else is coming. It's up to us. Let's send a message to our warriors and their families that they are not forgotten, that they’re not alone despite the pain we are going through as a nation.
Please go to The Heroes Journey and make a donation now.
Thank you for what you do to support our military, veteran, and first responder communities.
