Wars don’t end on the battlefield. The burdens of military service take a large toll on our nation’s veterans, who experience increased homelessness and suicide. Homeless veterans face a host of bureaucratic barriers on the path to successful civilian lives. Connecticut Veterans Legal Center helps veterans overcome legal barriers to housing, healthcare and income. CVLC was the first legal services organization in the country to be co-located, and staffed on a daily basis, within a VA community mental health facility. This is why I'm participating in The RIDE For Our Vets. 

The funds raised through The RIDE allow CVLC to serve hundreds of deserving Connecticut veterans each year. For every $1 raised, CVLC returns $8 to veterans in increased income and reduced debt. Need I say more?
