On behalf of a grateful nation
Introducing
US Vet Corps Resources
For over a decade America has been embroiled in a war brought
to our shores by a barbarous act of terrorism on 9/11.
Even now our nation’s finest fighting men and women are in harm’s way
across the globe in defense of our most cherished liberty.
A major obstacle our veterans face is the difficulty of transitioning
from a military to civilian life upon return home
What is alarming is that after heeding the call and sacrificing in defense
of our nation our veterans are facing tremendous challenges:
More veterans have committed suicide than killed in
action in our two most recent major conflicts!
800,000 to 1 million unemployed veterans at present
12 million underemployed veterans, who are forced to
work multiple part-time jobs in order to make ends meet
Even more shocking is that there are over 67,500
homeless veterans
With an alarming increase in female veterans recently
reported homeless.
Veterans are having tremendous challenges finding jobs in a
tough market brought on by a stagnant economy.
Our weak economy is a crisis that has devastated our nation and our
government has been flailing in its response to the need for job creation.
It’s quite a challenge when leaving the
military
While in service you were
an integral member of a
highly skilled team…
Responsible for the lives of
your soldiers
You were responsible for multi-million dollar equipment
You defended our nation
and saved lives…
You protected our borders and our airspace
Upon your return
home you lose your
identity
Its difficult to know where
to turn for help in your
transition
There is a backlog of almost 900,000 veterans still waiting for benefits at the
VA and a maze of dead ends and websites by organizations promising help
It is unconscionable that these brave men and women, the very back bone of our nation,
should have such difficulty upon their return home after defending our freedom.
On behalf of a grateful nation,
US Vet Corps Resources
Is a dedicated advocate for our veterans
helping them figure out their next move.
A US Vet Corps Resources Center is the crossroads
where a grateful community and our veterans meet
In a collaborative effort with other great non-profits and local community
volunteers, Vet Corps Resources is dedicated to helping Veterans dream a
new dream and attain that dream once they return home.
Our goal is to help veterans find stability in their new
life physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially.
A primary focus is helping our veterans deal
with the unseen wounds of war
by facilitating complimentary and confidential counseling to help a
veteran and their loved ones find emotional and spiritual wholeness
so they are able to move on with their lives and dream a new dream.
Whether it’s help finding the right
college or figuring out grants and
scholarships to pay for it…
help finding a great job…
or help writing a business plan or
patenting a new invention and
obtaining a small business loan,
US Vet Corps Resources is dedicated
to helping you reach your new dream!
After laying their lives on the line in defense of our freedom, our veterans
have not only earned our respect but also our thanks. To US Vet Corps
Resources, thanks is more than just words - it is dedication to serving our
veterans in their time of need just as they served our country.
Our veterans deserve no less.
Mission Statement
On behalf of a grateful nation, U.S. Vet Corps Resources, in a collaborative
effort with other great non-profits and local community volunteers, is dedicated
to helping Veterans, first responders, and their families in their transition from
active service to civilian life. We will endeavor to be the crossroads where a
grateful community and our veterans meet. Using the resources and
relationships at our disposal, we will help them dream new dreams and attain
those dreams once they return home. We will engage the local community to
help Veterans find stability in their new lives physically, emotionally, spiritually,
and financially. We will accomplish this by opening our centers to the
community and other excellent non-profits who are committed to assisting
veterans and offer volunteer services focused in four main areas: training and
higher education, jobs and careers, entrepreneurship, and wellness. We believe
that as our Veterans find stability in their new civilian lives, they will respond by
strengthening our communities as they reengage as the effective leaders they
are. As a grateful nation we owe then no less.
