All veterans have stories but few tell them.

Many veterans have been marginalized by incarceration, homelessness, or mental illness to the point that their voices are no longer heard. Too many times when a veteran commits suicide, friends and family are left confused. How many times have we heard, "I never saw that coming." 

Veterans Speak Up is designed to provide an opportunity for all veterans to tell their story and Veterans Justice Project will provide the means to deliver those stories. Veterans can tell their story to friends and family, the Courts, even the VA as a prelude to filing a claim for VA Disability and/or Benefits. For incarcerated veterans, Veterans Justice Project will make copies and forward the incarcerated veteran's story to anywhere and to anyone they want. Are you a veteran journalist or investigator? Provide contact information with a short message and let's talk.
