HonorVet.org is a registered 501(c)(3) Non-Profit, Non-Partisan Organization

Our Mission:

To create a safe and trusted environment for Veterans, Service Members and their loved ones by making available an array of services dedicated to enhancing their overall well-being.

As part of our commitment to be The Next Generation Community for Veterans, we’re working with experts in a variety of fields to develop custom support systems, leverage existing resources, and organize information across a wide spectrum so that our members have a one-stop shop of support, benefits and friendship.

Why do we do this? Because the need to provide assistance to Veterans and Service Members is critical, yet these same men and women are deeply inculcated in the values of discipline, pride and toughness, and often find it difficult, if not impossible, to ask for help when they sincerely need it. The statistics speak for themselves.  

• The number of service members discharged specifically for mental health reasons is up 64 percent from 2005 to 2009.
• The unemployment rate for returning veterans hit 21.1% in March of 2010
• According to USA Today, the Army reported suicides were at a record high in June 2010.
• More than 60 percent of Service Members report receiving some kind of mental health care since returning from Iraq or Afghanistan. More than 5 percent of recently returning Service Members showed signs of significant mental health problems.  
• Even more alarming, when these same Service Members were reevaluated 3-6 months later, up to 40 percent exhibited signs of severe emotional distress.
• According to a recent report by the Department of Veterans Affairs, an average of 18 Veterans commit suicide everyday.

Many feel ashamed or worry it could adversely affect other areas of their lives to try and find assistance. Furthermore, others live in smaller communities not equipped to provide specialized services. HonorVet.org is a safe, private and confidential place to turn for help no matter when, where or how Veterans, Service Members and their loved ones need a hand.

• The most innovative job board and career center brought to market yet.
