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 This outdated rule must be changed.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.

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

***Please participate in this important research to inform and educate employers and policy makers of the experiences from military to civilian transition (MCT) and civilian employment. Focusing on an asset-based view to military service, in line with my own PhD study at #EdinburghNapierUniversity, this research will highlight the myriad of transferrable skills acquired during military service and underscore the contribution our skilled military experienced personnel are making to the UK economy and society in general. *** #EdinburghNapierUniversity #Veterans #Military #MilitaryTransition #DefenceRelationshipManagement #OfficeForVeteranAffairs #ForcesinMindTrust

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.

As a veteran and property management company owner deeply committed to supporting veterans, it's disheartening to confront the reality of homelessness among our military heroes. According to a survey conducted by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in January 2012, there were at least 62,619 homeless veterans, a number expected to rise due to ongoing military deployments worldwide. Shockingly, veterans represent 13% of all homeless adults in the United States, despite comprising only 7% of the overall population. However, despite this sobering reality, there are avenues for assistance. Rental providers like us have access to resources that can make a significant impact. As property managers, we can play a pivotal role by participating in various housing programs aimed at veterans, both at the State and Federal levels, such as the HUD-VASH Program. These initiatives have proven instrumental in providing tens of thousands of veterans and their families with the stability of independent living through secure housing solutions. It's a cause worth championing, and together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have bravely served our country. #rpmregions #vanortherneck #PropertyManagementExcellence #lakeannava #carolinecountyva Real Property Management Regions

Operation Nourish Our Heros Network 🇺🇸 What inspired my initiative? Operation Nourish Our Heroes Network was inspired by witnessing firsthand the challenges many veterans face. As a Veteran of the United States Air Force, I have a deep appreciation for their sacrifices, which has fueled a passion for supporting these brave individuals in my community. This initiative is rooted in a profound sense of duty and a commitment to give back by ensuring that our veterans have access to the nourishment they need. What impact will it have on the community? The campaign will have an enormous impact the veterans community in Pennsylvania. By providing meals to veterans in need, we aim to alleviate stress and ensure their well-being. This operation is a way to show our veterans that their service is valued and appreciated. By addressing food insecurity, we can help prevent the mental health challenges that often develop when basic needs go unmet. Ultimately, this campaign aspires to create a lasting, and positive impact on the lives of those who have given so much for our country. #veterans #duty #commitment #kindness #compassion

We’ve got a problem. The demand for support from bereaved military families far, far outstrips what we at Scotty’s can afford. We can’t keep up. We need to generate £2m this year just to stand still and yet there are over 2,000 children bereaved of a parent who served every year. What you can do to help… ➡️ Can your business sign up to our Business Heroes Club? It’s £250/£500/£1k a month. ➡️ Could you nominate Scotty’s as your company’s charity of the year? ➡️ Can you afford to make a small donation? ➡️ How about fundraising at the Scotty’s March? ➡️ Or what about donating a % of sales from a product line? Together we can provide the support our bereaved military families deserve, but we need your help 🙌

A premature Veterans Day post (but really, we need to be talking about military folks, veterans, and their families all the time anyway): “Thank you for your service” doesn’t hold the camera while someone blows out candles for a birthday celebration you can’t make. It doesn’t cheer on the sidelines for the countless goals scored, songs sung, or tunes played, at every missed kids’ event. “Thank you for your service” doesn’t stand at the foot of the graves of your brothers and sisters in arms who gave their lives. It doesn’t check in on and support those who continue to wage a private war of their own back at home. “Thank you for your service” has never, not even once, healed a wound - neither the ones that bleed nor those that are invisible. “Thank you for your service” is what we who have not served say because there are no other words sufficient to mark the cost of service for those who do. It’s a reminder to ourselves that we get to live our lives as we do because of those who have chosen an often more challenging path. But where words may fall flat, actions never do. We honor service by donating our time and/or money to groups that serve veterans. By advocating for policies that improve the quality of life for veterans and their families. By remembering that even after Veterans Day has passed, our words of thanks alone have not repaid the debt we owe them. #AlmostVeteransDay #Veterans #MilitaryFamilies

🇺🇸 Veterans have served to provide security for us and our country. We believe they should be served in their time of need in a way that recognizes, honors and responds to the unique needs of the #Veteran and their family.
