Read Stories > Stop the Free Fall

Military service means getting used to a life filled with structure, support, and direction. After transitioning from active duty, some Service members find it challenging to adjust to the different pace and form of the civilian world. For those Veterans, life after military service can feel like walking a tightrope without a net.

That uncertainty is the focus of “Free Fall,” a new public service announcement from Make the Connection, a video that reminds Veterans that they always have support.

Often, friends and family who haven’t served don’t understand the unique experience of military life. But Veterans have many other resources — including each other — that they can count on for help with whatever challenge they may be experiencing. Veterans can start learning from the stories of their peers at MakeTheConnection.net. You can help by watching and sharing “Free Fall” with the Veterans in your life.
