D-Day, 81 years forward from 1944, is now "Debt-Day."

June 6, 2024, End Veteran Debt (EVD) marked the launch of “Debt-Day” as a major, years-long veteran debt abolishment campaign through the end of this decade to abolish unpaid and unpayable veteran debt. And, along with that, in partnership with other charitable organizations involved in veteran homelessness, PTSD, incarceration, isolation, broken families and broken spirits, and other social ills, to reduce veteran suicide.

On June 6, 1944, Americans and their Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy to begin the liberation of Europe. Eleven months later, the war was won, and in 1945 our heroes began returning home to a red-carpet treatment.

Today’s veterans return to a different America and a different reality.

We won't go into the seemingly hopeless statistics our veterans experience, all of which lead to suicidal ideation and even the unimaginable act itself. We are here to do something about it, and we want your help.

EVD and its Allies are committing to a years-long national Debt-Day fundraising campaign to abolish $80M in veteran debt. Symbolically, $1M for each of the 80 years that have passed.

Today, this page awaits the names and logos of the individuals and organizations who will partner with us to achieve this monumental goal of erasing $80,000,000 in veteran debt. Each time a logo appears a $1M campaign has begun.

Another wave will have hit that beach. And another. And another. Until we make that beachhead

We’ll start with our logo (below) as an example of the simplicity in creating a co-fundraising campaign. Donations are tax-deductible* as the IRS allows, and a receipt will be generated automatically for tax preparation purposes.

No need to co-fundraise and want to get right to the point of debt abolition? A thirty thousand dollar donation will abolish $1M in veteran debt. Three cents on the dollar! Hard to imagine an ROI better than that – on top of taking one more burden off the backs of our returned heroes. Write: This email address is being protected from spambots.
