Your Service. Your Life Today. Your Future.

Military service can shape friendships, identity, and daily habits long after leaving the uniform behind. This November, Mission Roll Call wants to hear what you miss, what you’ve carried forward, and what you’re happy to have left behind. We also want your perspective on growing older, including preferences for care, support for families and caregivers, and the ability to remain independent. Every veteran’s experience is different. Your responses will help us better understand those experiences and inform our advocacy priorities for 2027.

Survey Methodology

Mission Roll Call’s mission is not to tell veterans what to think—it is to ensure policymakers know what veterans think.

Mission Roll Call conducts independent surveys to better understand the views, experiences, and priorities of America’s military and veteran community. The results help inform policymakers, veterans’ organizations, the media, and the public on issues affecting those who have served and their families.

Surveys are open to individuals who identify as connected to the veteran community, including Veterans, Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, Military Spouses, Family Members, Caregivers, and Survivors. Unless otherwise noted, published findings may report results for veterans specifically or for the broader military and veteran community, depending on the question being analyzed.

Participation is voluntary. Each participant is encouraged to complete the survey only once. Mission Roll Call employs technical safeguards and data quality reviews to identify duplicate or incomplete submissions before results are analyzed.

To strengthen confidence in the findings, Mission Roll Call may distribute the same survey through multiple recruitment channels, including its established participant network, public survey links, and partner organizations. Comparing results across these recruitment methods helps assess whether findings remain consistent regardless of how participants entered the survey.

Mission Roll Call is committed to transparency. Survey reports include field dates, sample size, methodology, and questionnaire details whenever practical. Results are reported regardless of whether they support or challenge Mission Roll Call’s policy positions.
