In December 2011, the War in Iraq officially ended, meaning that record numbers of US soldiers are now returning stateside.  As they transition to civilian life, many soldiers face significant challenges.

The Long Road Home Project was founded to help our troops overcome some of their obstacles as they return home.

Starting in Seattle in July 2012 and ending in our nation’s capital about four months later, three veterans will go on a life changing, cross-country bicycle ride. During their inspirational journey, a small film crew will document the healing power long-distance cycling has on the human spirit.

Along the way, we will meet, stay, and speak with hundreds of other veterans, shedding light on the question:

What can we do as a nation to help our troops as they come home?
