Commander Gibson brings an energy and resolve in dealing with the opportunities facing the American Veteran of the future.

His tenacity in his dedication to our mission and vision speaks volumes. Commander Gibson finds resolve in his efforts to bring benefit to California’s veteran demographic regarding fund raising and health issues.

This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.

--Theodore Roosevelt

All veterans may receive claims assistance without regard to race, ethnicity, gender, age or branch of military service

If a friend is in trouble

don't annoy him by asking him

if there's anything you can do.

Think of something appropriate and do it.

(E.W. Howe)

Stand Down 2011 San Diego, CA

According to Veteran Village of San Diego (2012):

"Stand Down was started with belief in the triumph

of the human spirit over extraordinary odds. It grew
out of a conviction that the overwhelming number of
homeless veterans on the streets of America is
unacceptable, and that the veteran community
itself must respond. Stand Down is an intervention
that was conceived from the ground up specifically
for veterans, by veterans.Stand Down has helped
thousands of homeless veterans since its inception in
1988. In 2011, 928 homeless veterans utilized the services
at Stand Down. "
