There's a lot happening which provides real support for military veterans and their families. Lots more needs to be done, but things are getting better. This is only a sampling, biased by efforts that I'm seriously involved with, or plan to become so. Hey, you can also help out.
Turns out that the Department of Veteran Affairs gets more and more done, like improving the systems for handling medical and educational claims. They're also leading novel public/private partnerships to better support veterans, like the Blue Button effort which will allow vets to download their health records. Recently announced efforts will lead to integration with the Pentagon health records system, which is a huge deal. They're also using social media to get the word out to vets, including getting help from social media nerds to further propagate the word. (Yes, it's true that I fulfill the "nerd" part.)
