A point of connection for veterans

This week, The American Legion Tango Alpha Lima podcast welcomes Michelle Lang, a military spouse and founder of Veteran Help Point, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to connect veterans and their families to local help and resources.

Lang understands the criticalness of finding resources, especially when transitioning out of the military.

After her husband, Chris, transitioned out of the Army in 2019, they moved back home to Pennsylvania where they had a support system, and he had a civilian job. Things were fine until they weren’t.

“I soon realized that him and I were living in two totally different realities,” Lang said. Chris was grieving his time in service, and “we did not have a word for that. I just knew that I was losing him. I knew we were either going to get divorced or my biggest fear was coming home and finding him unresponsive.”
