In 2018, Veterans Coming Home returned with a new series, focused on "what works" for veterans and communities — from employment to education to volunteering — as servicemembers navigate the transition back into civilian life.

The new series premiered in the fall of 2018, alongside a renewed social media campaign and robust partnerships to explore solutions-based stories of veteran reintegration, focusing on how successful veteran reintegration can be a “virtuous cycle” for veterans themselves, their communities, and for American society as a whole. 

Veterans Coming Home began in 2016 as an innovative cross-platform public media campaign that bridges America’s military-civilian divide by telling stories, challenging stereotypes and exploring how the values of service and citizenship are powerful connectors for all Americans.

Throughout the spring of 2016, a team of photographers, writers, and filmmakers — both veteran and civilian — crisscrossed the country, creating digital shorts, videos, and other compelling content exploring issues of service, citizenship, and veteran’s lives. By working with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting – including 14 partner PBS stations – Veterans Coming Home created public media that reflects the voices of communities across the country.
