Our Mission 

Veteran Children is a film project that illuminates the struggles, sacrifices and contributions of veteran children and families. Using our half-hour documentary Veteran Children: When Parents Go To War as a catalyst for learning and discussion, we bring attention to the largely untold stories of the military families and children who are profoundly impacted by our wars and we encourage civilians to engage with the military community. 

“Military children serve alongside with their parents and one of their disadvantages is that they don’t have any uniforms. So we don’t even see their service.  But military children serve alongside.”
Dr. Harold Kudler
Duke Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

Our Goals
  • Promote open and meaningful discussions between the military and civilians
  • Learn from military Americans and deployment experts about the impacts of war on children and families
  • Engage civilian Americans to understand the strengths, sacrifices, and experiences of the military and their families
  • Inspire civilians to get involved with military families and to give them our interest, recognition and support
  • Affirm concern for all families and children affected by war

Project Description
The Veteran Children Project will:
  • Organize public meetings to screen our documentary film, Veteran Children: When Parents Go To War  and engage in discussions about the important issues raised by the film
  • Produce short documentary films and public television programming
  • Create discussion guides to facilitate conversations about issues relating to war
