Why it matters
They fought for our future. Now it's our turn to help them rebuild theirs.
A veteran's return is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning of another transition, for the veteran, their partner, their children and the entire family. The Phoenix focuses on the whole family, because a family is a team.
