Jason Moon: Activist

     After his return from the Iraq War in 2004, Jason grew increasingly frustrated with the general lack of knowledge and acceptance of the actual events of the war by most of the civilian population. Disturbed by this realization, he began to give talks about what he had seen, heard, and experienced while in Iraq as he struggled with the symptoms of PTSD.

     In 2006, Jason helped form the Milwaukee Chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War and worked with this group until 2008. From 2008 until present Jason has worked both individually and with numerous veteran-related groups, from all political viewpoints, in areas of advocacy and healing. 

The Homeless Veterans Initiative

     Jason works with the Homeless Veterans Initiative in the capacities of fundraising and outreach. He served on the board of directors as a board member and Treasurer from 2009 until 2011.  The Homeless Veterans Initiative actively seeks out homeless veterans in the greater Milwaukee area. They run the only veteran food pantry in Milwaukee as well as transitional housing units and several other outreach programs.

Soldiers Heart

     Soldier's Heart leads veterans on retreats all over the USA and in Vietnam with Dr. Ed Tick author of War and The Soul and his wife Dr. Kate Dahlstedt. Jason was fortunate enough to attend a retreat in the fall of 2008 and has continued to work with Soldiers Heart by both fundraising and bringing other veterans to several retreats.
