Episode 16: They Served This Country. Why Are They Still Homeless? | Eugene of Project VET

Forged for Greatness Episode 16 features a powerful and emotional conversation with Eugene from Project VET — a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness for veteran homelessness and veteran suicide.Eugene and his team partnered with Lavated Productions to produce a documentary centered around a shocking social experiment: Eugene voluntarily lived homeless on the streets of Jersey City for 48 hours to better understand the harsh realities many veterans face every single day.In this episode, Eugene opens up about his deep pride in America, his family bloodline tracing back to Normandy, and how 9/11 became a defining moment in his life — a time when he felt the country was truly united and committed to taking care of its own people.The conversation dives into the heartbreaking reality that so many veterans who sacrificed for this country are now living on the streets, struggling with mental health, or losing their lives to suicide after returning home.This isn’t a political conversation.It’s a human conversation.A conversation about service.A conversation about brotherhood.A conversation about what happens after the uniform comes off.If this episode moves you, please share it. Awareness is the first step toward change.#ForgedForGreatness #ProjectVET #VeteranHomelessness #VeteranSuicideAwareness #Podcast #MentalHealthAwareness #Veterans
