CHANGE
LOG.

A public record of meaningful directory corrections, additions, removals, and system changes.

01

Resource directory additions

  • Added Project Healing Waters, VetsinTech, and Warrior Canine Connection after reviewing their current nonprofit status and veteran programs on their official sites.
  • Added genuine organization artwork from each official website and service tags for search and filtering.
  • Raised the Resources directory from 404 to 407 active entries.
02

Consistency and quality audit

  • Audited all directory records for duplicate titles, slugs, URLs, missing fields, malformed copy, and broken local assets; no duplicate listings remained.
  • Added concise card summaries to 201 legacy records and repaired malformed HTML entities, corrupted punctuation, incomplete descriptions, inconsistent organization names, and legacy SDVOB service tags.
  • Corrected five official destination URLs and removed four listings that no longer met the active-site standard.
  • Removed incorrect shared generic-favicon and certification-badge assignments so records without a confirmed logo remain unbranded.
  • Removed an unlinked concept page that duplicated the homepage globe while preserving the interactive globe on the homepage.

03

National directory expansion

  • Added 200 U.S. veteran-serving nonprofits, cross-checked against IRS Publication 78 and official organization sites.
