Since our main objective was met by the passing of the Joshua Omvig Suicide prevention Act, we have started another project, the Veterans Coalition of Domestic Stability. This new project will take our initial project to the next level - working with the government as to what type of programs are in place and to ensure they are carried out.

Veterans Coalition of Domestic Stability
We are an alliance of non profit organizations, businesses, concerned citizens and people directly affected by the actions of veterans coming together because there is strength in numbers and a united voice is more clearly heard.
The VCDS's mission is to raise public and political awareness about the needs of veterans and current military personnel and to secure for veterans (and the citizenry at large) a stable home front. To support in the restoring and supporting the lives of Veterans and active Military Personnel on many levels; which encompasses but, is not limited to physically, emotionally, economically and spiritually through family and community involvement.

The Coalition offers support and restoration in the following ways:
1) Established Email system that offers information regarding the actions of our politicians in Washington that we are alerted to
2) Up dates on Coalition member events thru our data base
3) Liaison services between our members, the press, other media and local politicians so your event has a greater impact
4) Have a Coalition spokes person in Washington as a direct agent for you in National Politics
5) Opportunity to network with other groups and individuals with similar goals

You and the Coalition are equally empowered by the formation of our alliance. These are the points that we all support:

1) GRIEF COUNSELING FOR ALL SERVICEPERSONS before they get out of boot camp so they know what to expect prior to combat

2) MANDATORY DEBRIEFING FOR ALL SERVICEPERSONS before they are discharged so they have tools to work with aiding them in coping with civilian life

3) SUPPORT GROUPS available after discharge

4) CONGRESSIONAL APOLOGY FOR VIETNAM VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES which will be a start in fostering trust in our Government

5) PROTECTION FROM FAMILIAL CIVIL ACTIONS, WHILE DEPLOYED which will help stop the eroding of the family unit

6) PROTECTION FOR MILITARY SERVICEPERSONS FROM PATERNITY FRAUD another step to help stabilize the family

7) ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF HOMELESS VETERANS whose numbers are only increasing
