You earned them, are you using them? Estimates are that just 34% of veterans access any #VAbenefits. The list is long on what the US is giving you as a thank you for your service. But there are not gifts, they are #benefits, they are what you earned by serving your country. Even if you had a bad military experince, don’t reject them out of spite. It’s thousands of dollars a month in #education, #homeloan or #disability and more. It’s part of your financial plan. #Register for this #complimentary webinar to learn of all the VA benefit programs.

🌟 Celebrating Our Nation’s Hidden Heroes: The Vital Role of Military Caregivers Introduction: This May, we shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of our military communities: the 5.5 million military caregivers who selflessly support our veterans. Often unrecognized, these dedicated individuals play a critical role in the wellbeing of our nation’s heroes. 🕰️ Historical Background: Military caregivers have long been the backbone of veteran support, providing essential care that dates back to the earliest days of our nation’s history. These caregivers, comprising spouses, children, parents, and neighbors, have always been there, quietly supporting those who’ve served. 🌟 Significant Milestones: In recent years, recognition of their sacrifices has grown. Initiatives like the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s advocacy and the development of resources specifically for caregivers, such as the groundbreaking financial guide by USAA’s Educational Foundation, mark significant advancements in supporting their wellbeing. 💼 Impact on Society/Industry: The work of military caregivers not only affects the lives of veterans but also significantly impacts the healthcare and social support industries. Their contributions help shape policies and practices that support veteran care nationwide. 🔮 Legacy and Future Outlook: The establishment of the Month of the Military Caregiver is a testament to the increasing awareness and appreciation of these vital roles. Looking forward, continuous support and new resources, such as the Caregiver Financial Journey resource, are crucial in empowering caregivers with the tools they need for financial security. Conclusion: As we observe the Month of the Military Caregiver, let’s not only reflect on the profound impact these incredible individuals have but also consider how we can support them year-round. Their dedication is a beacon of selflessness and service that enriches our entire nation. 💬 Call to Action: Join us in celebrating and supporting our military caregivers. Explore and share the resources available, like the new Caregiver Financial Journey guide. Let’s ensure that every caregiver receives the recognition and support they deserve. #HiddenHeroes #HiddenHelpers #MonthOfTheMilitaryCaregiver #USAA #USAAwesome #USAAEmployee #UnitedServicesAutomobileAssociation #Leadership #Culture #MilitaryCulture #FinancialServices #VeteranSupport #ProjectManagement #DigitalFirst #DanielRuizIsasi
Today kicks off the Month of the Military Caregiver, a time to honor the love and support military and veteran caregivers provide to their loved ones. Empowering caregivers to take charge of their finances is one way we support this community, throughout May and beyond. Our new Caregiver Financial Journey resource, made in partnership with Elizabeth Dole Foundation, was created with #HiddenHeroes and #HiddenHelpers in mind. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eXPjtuRu

Entrepreneur, American Veterans (AMVETS) Department of Hawaii State Commander & AMVETS Hawaii Service Foundation President & CEO
A Call To Action: Demand Your Senators Support the VETT Act (S.677) Our legislative team needs your help to pass critical veterans legislation. We won’t be successful without voices like yours reaching out to your Members of Congress. The VSO Equal Tax Treatment (VETT) Act, a bill allowing all veteran non-profits like AMVETS and the American Legion to receive tax-deductible charitable gifts, is stuck in the Senate (S.677). This bill is crucial because Congressionally Chartered Veteran non-profits cannot have more than 10 percent of non-wartime-era veterans in their membership. If they do, the IRS will no longer let AMVETS & American Legion Posts receive tax-deductible charitable gifts, like every other charitable organization in America. And we think that’s a bunch of baloney. Veteran non-profits shouldn’t be penalized for welcoming home honorably discharged Cold War Era veterans. Our Cold War Era Veterans are invaluable members of our Nation and the AMVETS family. The law is unfair to them and their service. This outdated rule must be changed. Your Senators are the key to passing the VETT Act, and your voice is needed to see this bill enacted.

Vice President Data Strategy and Operations 🔹 Patient Advocate 🔹 Pharmaceutical Services Industry Expert 🔹 Submarine Veteran
Have you heard of #veteran #transitionstress? It's a common among separating #veterans when they leave the military since for many that is all they know. The hurdles they face are numerous: finding a new job, losing their military friends, finding purpose, and losing routine, to name a few. It is a challenging time, as many may not want to ask for help as they try to adapt to civilian life. Some #veterans have compared the experience to shedding their military "skin," much like Will Ferrell's character in Zoolander. As a US Navy #veteran myself, I experienced many of these hurdles, but was fortunate to find opportunities at veteran-friendly companies like Toll Brothers and Mercalis. If you know a veteran who's experiencing a recent transition, please show your support by connecting with them, giving them advice, or just asking how they're doing so they know they are not alone. And if you don't know a veteran, consider supporting some great charities that help veterans, like Mission 22, Irreverent Warriors, Inc., or The SUP Veterans. Please help make this transition a little easier for those who have served our country. #supportveterans #veterancharities https://lnkd.in/db-ARbHM

Honouring Our Heroes: 80 Years Since D-Day. Today marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings; and I'd like us to pause and reflect on the courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment of the brave men and women who stormed the beaches of Normandy on that fateful day in 1944. Allied Forces Unite: Troops from the UK, the USA, Canada, and France joined forces to launch the largest seaborne invasion in history. Their collective determination turned the tide of World War II, laying the foundation for an Allied victory. From Portsmouth to Normandy: On June 6, 1944, these heroes faced unimaginable challenges as they waded through the cold waters, dodging bullets and artillery fire. Their sacrifice and resilience paved the way for freedom and peace. Remembering Our Veterans: Today, we stand on the shoulders of giants—those who risked everything for our liberty. Let us remember their valour, their sacrifice, and their unwavering commitment to a better world. Supporting Our Veterans: Supporting veterans isn’t just about remembering the past; it’s about ensuring their well-being today. You can support this by advocating for mental health services, employment opportunities, and a strong support network for those who served. Learning from History: The lessons of D-Day resonate across generations. We must teach our children about the importance of unity, peace, and freedom. Their testimony serves as a timeless reminder that we must never take these precious values for granted. https://lnkd.in/eSuBiMy6 #DDay80 #RememberingHeroes Tim O'Keefe (FIRP) Nick Garland CDW UK Mark Murphy
