For the past 32 years the addicted and homeless veterans of San Diego have a place to be valued and welcomed. Running with the ethic of “leave no one behind,” Stand Down is a three day event and the love child of Vietnam vets. It starts with thousands of local volunteers, a secure encampment offering food, clothing, and shelter as well as medical, legal, and dental services wrapped up in an event-style venue including conviviality and live music.


Stand Down, the thirty minute film directed by Paul Steinbroner, shares the hope and support of this event with a broader audience seeking to better understand and learn from those of our vets who are homeless.
