Why The Land at Home Project?
“As a former active duty military member that has gone through the process of separating, I understand how challenging that experience can be and am grateful to be in a position where I can provide feedback and insight that might help future separating members with their adjustment back into civilian life. I fully believe in The Land at Home Project’s mission and am proud to be a part of a team that helps give something back to those who have sacrificed so much.”
