VETERAN RESOURCES:
Our veterans are the blood and sweat of America’s freedom. Our country was forged on their sacrifice and call to duty.
Veterans deserve all the respect and honor our nation can give them, and it is the goal at Project Roll Call to create a Clearing House of organizational assets to benefit our veterans, assist them in their transitions into civilian life, and to protect them and their futures.
If you are a Veteran, or know someone that is, and you are looking for support. Please review the organizations below. They are fully vetted and offer a wide array of help.
If you are an organization that would like inclusion on our site, please contact us at: info@projectrollcall.org

PsychArmor® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that offers critical resources to Americans so they can effectively engage with and support military service members, Veterans, and their families. Because fewer than 7% of Americans serve or have served in uniform, most civilians are unfamiliar with military culture. As a result, members of the military and Veteran community often feel misunderstood and reluctant to seek support. Our mission is to bridge that civilian-military gap by educating a nation.
At PsychArmor, we provide online training videos delivered by national subject matter experts who are fiercely committed to educating the civilian community about military culture – at no cost to the learner. Additionally, our Support Center provides follow-up coaching to reinforce the knowledge conveyed in our courses. Education is the most effective way to initiate conversations and empowers us to collectively support service members, Veterans, and their families so they can thrive in their real life and online communities.
By leveraging industry experts and trainers, we develop educational content designed to support the unique needs associated with military culture. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and supporters, PsychArmor is able to provide our online training courses at no cost to the learner. We also work with partners to create tailored curriculum pathways for teams, custom training videos and micro-courses.

Before Wheelchairs for Warriors came along, many of our recipients were distraught depressed and feeling isolated. Many were unable to get around their own homes, maneuver the great outdoors, go to the parks or beaches with their wives and families, or play an adaptive sport. The burden was also shared by their caretakers having to assist them with their heavy, bulky, inadequate wheelchairs. Thanks to our supporters and charitable donations, they are able to enjoy more independence and a better quality of life.

Healing4Heroes™ helps our military personnel and veterans move forward after being wounded both physically and/or mentally with the assistance of service animals. Healing4Heroes™ also saves the lives of unwanted shelter dogs by rescuing them and training them to become fully trained, A.D.A. complaint service animals. These dogs allow our soldiers to move forward and live more productive lives by allowing them to deal more effectively with their traumas and giving them the confidence and security to start to heal. At the same time, our veterans give these dogs a purpose in life and the chance to be loved and part of a family. The bond that develops between veteran and dog is one of a kind and each is saving the other. The dogs and training are provided free of charge to each veteran and cost our organization about $6000. Each veteran is directly involved in the training of their service dog, cementing that bond and starting the path of healing for vet and pet. Your donations make this possible!
