The Change We Seek®
Veterans Ink's mission is to create programs and opportunities for United States soldiers and their families that will assist with the situations they often face as well as provide proactive, preventative measures to remedy such conditions. Operation Once In A Lifetime helps our soldiers and their families in the following ways:
ACTIVE military Benefits -- Employing loved ones back home
• Addresses financial situations that could distract and lower the morale of those service members serving our country and deployed to combat areas across the globe.
• Reconnects families through common goals as they work hand in hand to support our country.
• Offer day care to enable family members to work.
INACTIVE military Benefits -- Offering jobs
• Reintroduces soldiers to society.
• Allows them to have the path of least resistance as they will be working with other soldiers on the same goal they have dedicated their lives to -- supporting the United States of America.
• Allows them to support themselves along with their families.
• Keep them busy, occupied and actively involved and contributing to something they believe in.
Programs and Education
• Provide education on common challenges soldiers face including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
