The Coalition for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans is a partnership of 52 organizations, including Swords to Plowshares, working to improve access to and quality of services for Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom military, veterans, and their families. These organizations provide a vital array of services, and together, we have served over 2 million people whose lives have been impacted by deployment.
This directory is an online partnership of "shared care" providing information on, and access to, services and resources for wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans, their families and families of the fallen, and those who support them from recovery and rehabilitation to community reintegration.
TRANSITION MANUAL: This manual, written by a veteran for veterans, contains information on benefits you have earned and how to access those benefits.
Making sense of all of the resources available to veterans and their families can be a daunting task. In order to help, we have listed a few resources available, listed by category. Please let us know if any of the links are no longer active and if you know of resources that we should add to the list. Call or email us if you need additional help identifying resources.
