I am thankful that the movie raises awareness of the struggles that returning Warfighters face.
According to AIP, these are legit charities that support Vets:
Army Emergency Relief Fund (A+)
Air Force Aid Society (A+)
Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (A+)
Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (A+)
Fisher House Foundaton (A+)
Armed Services YMCA of the USA (A-)
National Military Family Association (A)
Homes For Our Troops A
Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America A–
Operation Homefront – N.O. A
Semper Fi Fund / Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund
One of my colleague's is very involved in the Semper Fi Fund. Highly recommended.

Actually yes, and have for years, time & money.
Just spending time listening to these brave service people (the ones who want to talk) goes a long way as well.
