WHO WE ARE
Our Mission:
Provide veterans with a powerful, unified voice that is heard by our nation’s leaders and communities.
Veterans lack a partner that proactively seeks their input on issues impacting their lives and effectively communicates their views to stakeholders. Right now, nearly half of veterans are unaffiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs or any veteran serving organization. Mission Roll Call is the first-ever of its kind: a movement to give every single veteran a voice in policy and advocacy on the issues that are important to them. A community where veterans, their spouses, families, and caregivers can share their stories, concerns, hopes, wins, and voice their issues.
Mission Roll Call is a movement providing veterans with a powerful, unified voice that is heard by our nation’s leaders and communities. We take the messages, views, experiences, and insights shared by our veterans and deliver them directly to our leaders in order to speak unfiltered, accurate truth and enact positive change.
