Abstract

[We believe that our nation is nearing an important inflection point where we have achieved sustainable momentum that ensures the “Sea of Goodwill” does not turn into an “ocean of apathy.” This chapter highlights that recent veterans’ initiatives have set the conditions for an inflection point; analyzes recent trends; and offers recommendations to help institutionalize the momentum achieved over the past several years. In particular, we focus on the development of a more “veteran-centric” approach at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the advent of a formal life cycle approach in the Department of Defense, emerging public-private partnerships, and the contributions of the private sector to supporting the reintegration needs of veterans. Our recommendations focus on sustaining and supporting robust collaborations between government and nongovernmental partners in the future.]
