CONNECTION
Across the country, veterans, especially those who are older, rural, or no longer connected to formal institutions, are losing regular human contact.
Pen & Purpose restores that connection through something deliberate and personal: written words, consistent presence, and shared purpose.
This program connects veterans with students, families, and peers through handwritten letters, thoughtful correspondence, and, where appropriate, personal visits.
Pen & Purpose is an initiative of the Combat Veterans of America and is designed to modernize outreach without bureaucracy, sentimentality, or spectacle. Just people showing up, consistently.
