3 myths about women in the military: 1. Women don't serve in combat roles. BUSTED: women have served in combat roles since 2016 2. There are only a few women in the military. BUSTED: 16-20% of the military is made up of women. 3. Women don't make good military leaders. BUSTED: a West Point study shows female cadets to be better leaders than male cadets

Veterans Bridge Home recently supported a veteran whose journey reminds us that stability is never just about housing. It's about the whole person. When this veteran came into care, he was facing homelessness alongside severe medical challenges while trying to cope with multiple personal losses. Stable housing the the beginning, but it was followed by improvements in medical conditions, a greater sense of community, and renewed purpose. Today, this veteran's life looks very different. Let this be a reminder that housing is only one piece of the solution. When one part of a person's life stabilizes, it creates room for everything else to begin healing.

Not all service members walk on two legs. On K9 Veterans Day, we’re celebrating the dogs who serve and protect beside our service members. Dogs have served alongside our military since 1942. Ever since then, they have patrolled, stood watch, detected explosives, and done so much more at the sides of their handlers. Tag someone who worked with a military K9! And if you were a K9 handler, tell us about it in the comments 👇 #K9VeteransDay

"If history offers any lesson, it is this: women have never waited for conditions to be perfect before stepping forward." If there is one takeaway from Lori Noonan's recent article in Homeland Magazine, it is that. One thing we know? Women have been serving this country long before we ever gave them credit, and they will be serving, leading, and making change WELL into the future.

After helping to stabilize a veteran managing an immediate crisis—restoring electricity, reconnecting support systems, and addressing urgent needs—the work didn’t stop there. Once his foundation was secure, the focus shifted forward. Although laid off due to physical limitations, he's motivated and determined to return to work. VBH is now walking alongside him: reducing barriers and helping him rebuild independence on his journey back into the workforce. Today, he is no longer figuring it out on his own, but he is moving forward with renewed hope, and a strong support system. #StrongerTogether #StrongerAtHome #VBH

When a Vietnam veteran found himself without electricity following severe storms, physical limitations, and mounting financial hardship, it wasn't just a utility issue — it was a matter of emotional and mental health stability. VBH stepped in, mobilizing resources to stabilize the veteran's situation. Through a collaborative effort between VBH, the Community Blueprint of Greater Fort Bragg, Connected Care, and community partners, the lights were turned back on, removing an immediate barrier to safety and stability. This is what collective impact looks like. This is what coordinated care can do. This is what it means to be #StrongerTogether. #VBHSandhills #StrongerTogether

"One of the most challenging parts of being a military family is moving to a new place where you don't know anyone, oftentimes making it challenging to networking to continue your current job position." — Military Spouse, Metrolina Region When every PCS makes you start over, we're here so you're not starting from scratch.
