We are Vets helping Vets, offering opportunities to come together in support of each other, to listen and benefit from each other’s experience with service-related issues - everything from getting back into civilian life, to returning to school, or civilian jobs, or family life, and navigating the VA and learning about services in the community. While every deployment is different there is one constant: The camaraderie that comes from our shared experience of life in the military. Whether we served in the jungles of Vietnam, the deserts of Iraq, the mountains of Afghanistan, or on a ship at sea, we are among the few who understand what it’s like. Our program is honor of and named after Joseph Dwyer, who is forever going to be linked to the war in Iraq because of the picture of him running through a fire fight carrying a young wounded Iraqi boy. It is what we do to remember why he lived - not how he died.
