About Operation Stand Down Tennessee
With its roots in serving Nashville’s homeless Veterans, today Operation Stand Down Tennessee’s purpose is to help all Veterans in Middle Tennessee manage their personal, career and financial needs while creating a life they find fulfilling. We serve Veterans who may have significant needs, like homelessness and addiction, and those recently transitioning from military service who need career assistance or connection to a like-minded Veteran community. www.osdtn.org
