As I post the following information I do so because my son is a Reservist who serves proudly in the Army. He personally has four deployments and has served since graduating high school. He has had the honor of being awarded challenge coins for various reasons within his unit. Each time it instills a sense of pride, honor and service for what he does. In a world marked by constant change, there are timeless traditions that serve as pillars of honor and respect. One such tradition, ubiquitous across military branches, is the revered practice of the challenge coin. Yet, this tradition faces a challenge of its own. Recent revelations indicate that the funding for challenge coins, integral to the bond between commanders and military personnel, is not provided at the level of company orientation but rather at higher echelons such as the battalion level. Here lies an opportunity to preserve this cherished tradition. I have taken it upon myself to aid a company in raising the necessary funds to ensure the continuation of challenge coins. These coins serve as tangible symbols of respect, recognition, and accomplishment for our Soldiers. The company I am honored to support has a storied history, having participated in multiple combat theaters including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia. Their dedication was further evidenced by their activation in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and their recent involvement in Operation Enduring Freedom in Saudi Arabia, followed by deployment to assist Operation Allies Refuge in Qatar. Throughout their service, they have produced exemplary leaders who have earned accolades such as the Meritorious Unit Citations and the Joint Meritorious Unit Award. The Soldiers of this company are exemplars of dedication and excellence, consistently delivering outstanding results in any mission they undertake. Their leadership, embodied by their Commander and First Sergeant, makes it a priority to recognize and honor Soldiers for their achievements. However, the financial burden of procuring unit coins often falls on their shoulders due to the lack of funding from higher levels. Currently, a design for the challenge coin has been finalized, with manufacturing pending until funding can be secured. Your contribution to this cause is not merely a donation; it's an investment in preserving a vital aspect of military culture. For veterans, challenge coins are synonymous with morale and camaraderie. For parents of military personnel, they symbolize the pride and honor of their child's service. And for families of Soldiers, they become cherished heirlooms, encapsulating the legacy of sacrifice and service. I urge you to consider supporting this worthy cause and safeguarding a tradition that encapsulates the essence of military service—accomplishment, strength, and pride. Together, let's ensure that the tradition of the challenge coin continues to inspire and unite our military community for generations to come. https://gofund.me/c012ea13

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
