Why I built this

Too many veterans feel the system left them behind. The truth is rougher: the benefits are sitting there, earned and unclaimed, hidden behind paperwork no one explained.

Every vet needs a buddy who knows the system. Mine spent years researching what we qualify for and showed me what I'd been missing. One person can only reach so many. Merit is that buddy. You earned this.We'll help you find it.
