We’re proud to stand behind the men and women who have served our country—not just in words, but in action. A growing number of veterans face serious challenges when they return home, including mental health struggles, unemployment, and a difficult transition into civilian life. Nearly 1 in 3 veterans report symptoms of PTSD or depression, and over 37,000 veterans are homeless on any given night in the U.S.

Yet, many veterans find renewed purpose in the construction industry. Nearly 7% of the construction workforce is made up of veterans—a powerful reminder of their continued contribution to building strong communities. Check out this statistic from VA News:
