#118 - Green Jackets: A Veteran-Centered Approach to Justice

What happens when the men and women who served their country come home and don’t receive the welcome they expected?

On this episode of Legal Aid Radio, we explore how Vietnam veterans turned that experience into action: building a nationwide movement of support, and helping create a new kind of justice system designed specifically for those who served.

We’ll hear from Vietnam-era Navy veteran and Green Jackets founder Frank D’Aversa, along with retired Navy Commander Grace Mehl, as they share the history behind Vietnam Veterans of America and the roots of Veterans Treatment Court.
