In order to raise awareness, foster community engagement, improve research and provide intervention for those affected by invisible injuries and emotional stress, the VFW has teamed up with the nationwide organization Give an Hour and the Campaign to Charge Direction, One Mind, PatientsLikeMe, and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation to combat this critical issue.
