As a veteran-founded and veteran-led organization, celebrating the achievements, surfacing the needs, and addressing the challenges of our nation’s veteran community is paramount to NationSwell’s mission to build an equitable and just world.
For Veterans Day 2022, NationSwell published a video profile featuring just some of the incredible leaders in our community who are working to make life better for our nation’s veterans and active duty service members. Many are veterans themselves, some are from multi-generation military-connected families, and others are civilians working to support veterans’ rights. But whatever their unique journey may have been to arrive in this space, all of us can learn from their experiences, their research, and their insights into how we can all do our part to build a culture of service.
