Amirah was just 2 years old when her father, Army Corporal Jordan Goode, died in Afghanistan. Almost immediately, the Goode family contacted TAPS, providing Amirah with an extended family that would embrace her for life. Amirah’s relationship with Tori, an Army veteran and TAPS mentor, has been a highlight. “When I need motherly advice, I can text her. When I need someone to rant to, I'll text her,” says Amirah, now 19. “She’s whatever I need her to be, and it is perfect.” Amirah and Tori each have half a butterfly tattooed on their finger. When they come together, they form a perfect match. In honor of their match and all of the mentor-mentee matches TAPS has facilitated, the TAPS board is offering a 3:1 match for Giving Tuesday. That means that every dollar you donate (up to $25k) turns into $3! Give today: taps.org/donate. Your generosity is essential to TAPS, which offers 24/7 compassionate care to all those grieving the death of a military or veteran loved one, regardless of the moment or manner of death. “Tori and I chose the butterfly because it represents growth as it goes from a caterpillar to a butterfly,” Amirah says. “No matter where we are, I know my other half is out there.” #standwithsurvivors #serviceandsacrifice #theultimatesacrifice #veterans #givingtuesday #freedomisntfree

His mission to help #veterans on their #entrepreneurshipthroughacquisition journey is sorely need and perfectly timed. #veteranshelpingveterans #veteransemployment #eta #acquisitions #businessacquisition
Veterans often face challenges transitioning to civilian life, including finding stable employment and purpose after their service. Many are eager to start their own businesses but lack the resources and guidance to do so successfully. Without the proper support, these brave men and women may feel lost and unfulfilled, unable to achieve their dreams of entrepreneurship and financial independence. Join us in supporting our heroes by donating to our program, which provides them with the mentorship, resources, and funding they need to purchase and run their own small businesses. Together, we can empower our vets and strengthen our communities. #SupportOurHeroes #VeteranEntrepreneurs #EmpowermentThroughBusinessOwnership. #veterans #smallbusiness #entrepeneur #american #military

Good afternoon, everyone! I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that today is designated as Gold Star Spouses Day. Families who have lovingly supported their military members experience tragic loss when that family member dies. Gold Star Spouses Day was established to respect and acknowledge these wives and husbands who have lost their significant others during military service. How to Observe Gold Star Spouses Day Show some support and appreciation for the sacrifice that military families have made as they live their lives without a husband or wife who was killed in service. Get involved with observing Gold Star Spouses Day through some of these ideas: - Thank a Gold Star Spouse People inside and outside of the military can take time on this day to acknowledge and show appreciation to a wife or husband of someone who has died in military service to their country. Whether in the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines, service members and their families can be recognized on Gold Star Spouse Day for their ultimate sacrifice. - Attend a Gold Star Spouse Event Many different military bases, veterans groups, and other support organizations may be hosting special events in honor of Gold Star Spouse Day. These might include remembrance ceremonies for those fallen service men and women, or some other type of commemoration service. This is also a good time for gold star family members to wear their gold star pins. - Make a Donation for Gold Star Spouses Those who are interested in getting involved with Gold Star Spouse Day may want to show some support for the cause by making a donation. The Gold Star Wives of America uses its status as a non-profit organization to preserve and enhance the benefits provided to the surviving spouses and children of US military members.

Unemployment is not comfortable for anyone - it can bring financial uncertainty, pressure on relationships, stress related health issues and risk of housing issues. Military personnel commit a large portion of their time, energy and years of commitment to military service. Often undertaking roles that are like no other, are involved in situations that many can't even start to comprehend and suffer with injuries and illness that other areas of life would not bring. This is why it is important that Veterans who have given so much already have the support and guidance needed to get them into secure employment. With help and assistance to get them on track to a brighter future. https://lnkd.in/ebUxyk-k To donate- Text VETERANS to 70470 to donate £10 Or VETERANS20 to donate £20 Texts cost the chosen donation amount plus one standard network rate message
