The Veterans Empowerment Organization offers a healing campus environment that allows veterans to rebuild their lives. Their mission is to empower veterans along their journey to self-sufficiency.

Newly appointed CEO, Tony Kimbrough, an Army veteran himself, has the passion for struggling veterans one would expect. Our conversation was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Listen in to hear more about:

• The tragedy of homeless veterans – especially right here in metro Atlanta
• VEO’s holistic approach to setting veterans on the road to self-sustenance
• The dual challenge of vets from active duty and reservists
• The scourge of PTSD
• We invest heavily to train our warriors to “react normally to abnormal situations,” but invest next to nothing to help them return to actual normal life
• What it’s like to go from war zone to everyday job in two weeks (Think about that for minute…)
• Why veterans need the perspective of other vetereans

If ever there were a perspective that will motivate you to say, “Thank you for your service,” this episode is it!

Thank you, Tony Kimbrough, for your service to our community!
