ABOUT THE VETERANS JOURNAL
The Veterans Journal, as a newspaper, was established in 1997, in San Diego, California. Published as a monthly paper for the first four years, the Journal changed to a weekly edition in 2001.
The Veterans Journal is dedicated to educate and inform the veteran, the family of veterans as well as all patriots regardless of their origin or current location whether it be local, domestic or international. Over the years, The Veterans Journal has been an instrumental leader in San Diego, County, pioneering numerous projects beneficial to the community.
United Veterans Memorial Service
The monthly United Veterans Memorial Service provides full military burial honors to all veterans who have died in San Diego County in the previous month. The United Veterans Memorial Service also provides full military burial honors to indigent veterans who have passed away with no family support.

Operation Homefront
A booming success, Operation Homefront was conceived and initiated in the Veterans Journal office in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 tragedy. This project was based upon the idea that when our nation calls our service members into harm’s way, the last thing the service member needs is to be preoccupied with issues back home. The service member needs reassurance that all’s well back on the homefront, so they can concentrate on the serious job of protectng our nation. Operation Homefront provides coordinated support from businesses and individuals to the families of deployed members of our Armed Forces.

Gratitude
It has been a privilege of The Veterans Journal to serve the San Diego Counties Veterans and their families for several years.
