About Us

Founded in 2006 by a Marine Veteran, The Long Walk Home is on a mission to empower Veterans around the country and prevent Veteran suicide.

Every day, roughly 17 Veterans are lost to suicide. This is unacceptable to us. Our organization addresses this problem by providing transformative programs, resources, and events to Veterans and their families, free of charge.
