Where else would they have gone?

The VA does more than most people ever see — from intensive mental health support to homeless outreach to complex long-term rehabilitation. Many of our patients simply wouldn’t fit or be covered in private systems. When we talk about defending the VA, it’s because we know exactly who would be left behind.

Do you have a story of a Veteran who might have fallen through the cracks anywhere else? Please share in the comments.
