Code of Vets

The inspiration for Code Of Vets: Sgt. Danny E. Smiley, my dad, my Airborne Angel. He was a Bronze Star Medal recipient, a 100 percent disabled Vietnam Veteran – exposed to agent orange. He lost his battle with PTSD at age 57. R.I.P Dad

DID YOU KNOW?

• Roughly every 70 minutes a veteran commits suicide.
• There are approximately 40,000 homeless veterans on any given night.
• In the past year alone the number of diagnosed PTSD cases in the military jumped 50% (this is only reported & diagnosed cases).
• According to the VA, up to 20% of Operation Freedom & Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans, up to 10% of Gulf War veterans, & up to 30% of Vietnam veterans have PTSD.
• Transitioning from military to civilian life is often overwhelming & stressful. Transferring military job skills, training & education is a common problem for veterans.
• It is time to shine the light on the daily issues in our veteran community. It is time to put our veterans first.
• We have been given a unique opportunity with this grassroots movement to effect true change.
