You are here because of what you have accomplished, in your own right, and what you have the capacity to accomplish in the future in your own right. You have excelled in the scholarship of your class of 1964. You have the potential to excel even more in the citizenship of your country of 1974 or 1984 or 1994. I have congratulated you. I want now to challenge you – to challenge you to develop and apply that quality of excellence which is within you. … I believe the destiny of your generation, and your Nation, is a rendezvous with excellence. … You are younger than most of the earth’s quarrels, and you are older than most of the earth’s governments. You are younger than most of man’s ignorance, and older than much of his knowledge. … [This] is your challenge – to give your talents and your time in our land and in all lands to cleaning away the blight, to sweeping away the shoddiness, to wiping away the injustices and the inequities of the past so that all men may live together in a great world community of decency and of excellence.” – President Lyndon B.

    ANNUAL REPORT CODE of SUPPORT FOUNDATION THEY STOOD FOR US. WE STAND WITH THEM. 2018 Annual Report | 1 Our Mission Code of Support Foundation provides essential and critical one-on-one assistance to struggling service members, veterans, family members and caregivers. Photo © Carey Hope/istock WELCOME Dear Friends, When we founded the Code of Support Foundation (COSF) eight years ago, we vowed that we wouldn’t let what happened to Alan’s generation of Vietnam veteran families happen to Kristy’s generation of Post 9/11 veteran families. We asked ourselves: If the government is spending billions of dollars and there are tens of thousands of nonprofits serving the military and veteran service communities, why aren’t we seeing better outcomes? We realized that families and individuals are falling through the cracks between organizations and agencies. While the ocean of available resources may be deeper and wider than ever, finding the right resources for a struggling individual or family can be even harder than before. We created COSF to be the integrator in this highly fragmented space — the one place to turn when you don’t know where to turn. The year 2018 saw exciting growth for COSF in three interlocking ways: • connecting people through direct one-on-one assistance from Peer Navigators in our National Case Coordination Center, where we’ve helped change thousands of lives; • connecting resources with our online hub PATRIOTlink® which we launched this year as a transformative solution for individuals and military/veteran sup- port groups and officers to efficiently identify resources nationwide; and by • connecting Americans with our Code of Support to bridge the military-civilian divide, including the challenge we issued on Veterans Day for people from all walks of life to stand with our “Committee of Distinguished Americans” and pledge support for those who serve.
