Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation Awards $2 Million In New Grants To Help Veterans And Their Families Transition From Military To Civilian Life

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As America prepares to salute the nation’s military veterans for their service and sacrifice, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation today marked Veterans Day by announcing more than $2 million in new grants to support three leading programs that help post-9/11 veterans and their families transition from military to civilian life.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 1 million service members will leave the military between 2011 and 2016, nearly half of them with children under 20 years old. One in two service families will find this transition “difficult,” according to a survey by Blue Star Families.
