Healthy Monday reminder during this Holiday Season!

The holidays are a joyful time for many. But for some, they can be difficult. Veterans, service members, and military families can carry unseen burdens connected to their service of our country. It’s on all of us to understand that.

If you’re struggling, you are not alone. Support is single call away, day or night:
📞 Dial 988, then press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line
💬 Text 838255
💻 Chat at VeteransCrisisLine.net

Check in on the people you love. It is sometimes as simple and as easy as that.


To those struggling: we are here. And we’ve got your 6.

Healthy Monday: Moral Injury

During a Debrief session, Justin Cowne shared his thoughts on Moral Injury and the role it has played in veterans' mental health.

Not all wounds come from what happened to us.
Some come from what we were asked to do…
What we witnessed…
Or what we couldn’t stop.

Moral injury heals through:
• Honest conversations
• Safe storytelling
• Accountability and compassion
• Reconnecting with your values, not running from them

This week, check in with yourself:
“What part of my story still needs to be spoken out loud?”

Healthy minds aren’t silent ones.
They’re supported ones.

If this resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it solo.

At The Debrief Project, we create space for veterans to slow down, reflect, and tell their story in their own words—when they’re ready.

Preserving history matters.
Healing through being heard matters too.

This is where both can happen.
History & Healing.

Thank You, Freehold Ford! 🇺🇸

The Debrief Project is incredibly grateful to Freehold Ford for their generous and tremendous support throughout November and December through their Hero Month Campaign.

Because of their commitment to those who serve, we are able to sustain our mission—providing a platform where service members and veterans can heal through sharing their stories. Every debrief preserves history, strengthens connection, and supports mental health through the power of History & Healing.

Community partners like Freehold Ford don’t just say “thank you” to our heroes—they show it.

If you are looking for a new automobile or want to support a business that truly supports veterans, stop by Freehold Ford!

If you or your organization would like to help create space for veterans to be heard, honored, and supported, we’d love to connect.
This mission matters—and we can’t do it alone.

The Debrief Project Is Now a CFC Charity
CFC Code: 73771

We’re proud to share that The Debrief Project is officially listed with the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC)—making it easier than ever to support our mission in 2026.

In 2025 alone, we completed over 45 Debriefs, and we’re just getting warmed up. Each Debrief creates space for veterans to share their lived history—and experience healing through that process. When participants choose to share publicly, those stories ripple outward, supporting fellow veterans, families, and communities who see themselves reflected in those experiences.

📖➡️❤️ That’s History & Healing in action.

We need your help to keep this work moving forward in 2026.
If you’re a federal employee, please consider supporting us through CFC Code 73771.

💻 Prefer to give directly?
You can also donate at: www.debriefproject.org/donate

Thank you for standing with us—and with the stories that deserve to be heard.

🇺🇸 Big News from The Debrief Project! 🇺🇸

We’re honored to announce that The Debrief Project is now officially listed with the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC)!

That means federal employees can now support our mission—History & Healing through Veteran Storytelling—directly through their CFC Campaign.

📌 CFC Code: 73771
Your support helps us preserve firsthand veteran stories, expand healing-centered programs like Operation Storyline, and ensure these voices are never lost to history.

If you’re a federal employee, this is one of the easiest ways to make a lasting impact—no ruck march required (unless you’re into that kind of thing).

👉 Consider designating The Debrief Project in your CFC giving this season.
Together, we honor the past, support the present, and shape a stronger future.

Thank you for standing with us.
🇺🇸

“The Debrief Project isn’t just about recording history.
It’s about what happens after the story is told.

Veterans process experiences that shaped them—and sometimes haunted them—for years.

Your donation helps provide the tools, platforms, and support that allow real healing to begin.

This is about service, connection, and community.

Stand with our veterans.
Support The Debrief Project.
Donate today.”
