“Our fear is overcome by our conscience and our beliefs and forces us to act." - John McCain My son Rex is one of the youngest participating in this year’s New York City SEAL Swim to raise money for The Navy SEAL Foundation which provides critical support for the warriors, veterans, and families of Naval Special Warfare. This event consists of a mile run at the start, a total of 3.5 miles of swimming broken up by 3 stations where they complete 100 honor pushups and 22 pull ups, and a final mile run at the end to the World Trade Center. Please consider helping him in his journey. https://lnkd.in/egt6Wibm “Sworn to protect us from America’s foes. They operate under cover of darkness, against unimaginable odds. Not for status. Not for glory. But to defend our way of life. With strength, courage, and honor.” Funds raised will help provide critical, evidence-based programs for SEALs and their families - programs designed to build strength and resilience, encourage optimal health, enhance opportunities for growth through education, and solidify a sense of community and belonging. - $500 could fund travel for a wounded SEAL or Special Warfare Combat Crewmen (SWCC) in need of specialized care for their return to duty - $250 could provide graduate-level test prep assistance for a transitioning SEAL or SWCC - $150 could fund one session of grief counseling for a Gold Star family member - $100 could pay for a physical rehabilitation session for a SEAL or SWCC - $50 could cover two hours of Respite Child Care for one family of a deployed service member - $25 could provide one meal for a Command Memorial - $10 could fund 1 water bottle for an NSW kid at Summer Camp #SEALswim #NSF #NSFTeammates #NavySEALFoundation #NYCSEALSwim

We are approaching almost 12,000 Armed Forces Covenant signings! ✍️ Why should you organisation also pledge support to the Armed Forces community? The Covenant is a national responsibility involving government, businesses, local authorities, charities and the public. Since 2011, organisations have been making their pledge to support members of the Armed Forces community who work in their business or access their products and services. The level of support depends on the size and nature of the organisation, but typically includes policies that: encourage reserve service; support employment of veterans and service spouses/partners; and give the Armed Forces community a fair deal on commercial products and services.

So how does #EquipStarFund Serve those who serve? To begin, I have 35 years in public service in both the military and as a civilian first responder. We have founded #EquipStarFund to be a leading portal for #FirstResponders and #Military members and their #Families to access small group investment normally reserved for the well-connected. These aren’t just clients, they are friends and colleagues from a lifetime of service. We understand what they need because we have experienced it firsthand. Second, our fee structure is heavily backloaded. We don’t realize any significant payment until our customers do and then the distribution schedule heavily favors the client. Third, we are invested beside our clients. We don’t direct clients to projects or developers that we are not personally invested with. We rise and fall together. Fourth, by pooling investments together, our clients get higher preferred returns on private placements than if they invested directly. we can also produce side letters for our larger investors. Fifth, We direct a portion of proceeds to charitable entities that serve responders and military members. #NMM30 #EquipStarFund

Happy Veterans Day! We should all take a moment to reflect on what we can do to support veterans everywhere. How can we use our votes, our time, our charitable contributions, and our personal relationships to support our warriors after they come home. The sacrifice most people think about happens on the battlefield, but the sacrifices veterans make doesn't stop there. And so we must raise awareness and fight for the rights and wellness of those who were willing to fight for us. Give them comfort, support, and care. Respect their sacrifice with more than words because they honored their commitment to us with more than words. And stand by them even when it would be more easy to look the other way or forget the incredible gift they gave us, to live free and at peace. Consider this, over the ~20 years our troops were at war in Afghanistan, we lost 6, 241 U.S. lives on the battlefield. However, the more striking statistic is when you discover that we currently are losing more veterans to suicide every year, than that total number of battlefield casualties over 20 years. Between 16-22 veterans are lost to suicide every single day and have been for every day since 2001 when the war on terror began. This is the cost of war and this is why we must do better to support our veterans after they come home. So this Veterans Day, I ask you to consider supporting the Wounded Warriors Project, Flanders Field, or another non-profit of your choice that defends, cares for, and supports our troops after they return home with wounds they will carry for a lifetime. https://lnkd.in/eVPkuwY4 https://lnkd.in/etD88FG4 And if you want to get more informed on what our government is doing (or not doing right now), take a look at https://lnkd.in/efkHB3rY
