Our first 1,137 supporters changed the entire trajectory of this conversation.

What used to be quiet, private discussions inside veteran circles is now a growing, public conversation that people can finally see. That shift happened because of us — this community.

Our end goal is a minimum of 54,000 signatures by Jan 1, 2026, representing each of the combat veterans impacted. 

Every signature so far represents someone who stopped, read, and felt something when they learned what medically retired combat-injured veterans live with. The surgeries. The trauma. The chronic pain. The invisible battles. The years of rebuilding after losing a career, a body part, or a piece of themselves in service.

Our momentum isn’t slowing — it’s strengthening. The visibility, the comments, the support, the empathy… it’s all building into something bigger than any of us expected. These veterans have been carrying these wounds alone for too long, and now people are finally paying attention.

With Thanksgiving two weeks away, we have time to make this conversation even louder — time to show medically retired combat-injured veterans that they aren’t forgotten, overlooked, or ignored. Time to make sure more people understand the human reality behind that “54,000” number. 

Thank you for standing with this community.
