How to Add Boot Tags to Boot Campaign Boots

U.S. Army Veteran Jay Leitner’s second deployment introduced him to the harsh realities of war and combat. His experiences led him to a point which he describes as he was “drifting along.” He stopped taking care of himself, was taking multiple medications and drinking heavily to cope. He wasn’t looking forward to being around anymore, but at that low point, he sought help. After receiving a complete analysis of his brain and body and an individualized pipeline of care through our Health & Wellness Program, Jay finally felt improvement in every area of his life. With your support, more Veterans like Jay will get the tools and treatment they need and so deserve. Please consider a one-time donation or join our nationwide network of recurring donors making a difference in the lives of our nation's Veterans by visiting donate.bootcampaign.org.

Impacted by the events of 9/11, Marc Aldrich proudly joined the U.S. Marine Corps as a Flight Mechanic after high school. His time spent as a Flight Mechanic quickly introduced him to the world of combat, leaving him little time to process the trauma and grief that came along with it. After separating from service, his sleep and physical health took a turn for the worse, leading a friend to suggest that he reach out to Boot Campaign for help. Marc began a personalized program to treat his specific symptoms and shares how he has overcame his hidden wounds and became a healthier person, better father and committed employee as a result. With your support, more Veterans like Marc will get the tools and treatment they need and so deserve.

Retired U.S Air Force Veteran Kyle Baglia came to Boot Campaign when he realized that his thoughts were so destructive they had driven him to the point of taking his life.

We’re so grateful for Veterans like Kyle who raised their right hand to serve, but also put in the work necessary to experience healing.
