“All gave some; some gave all.” Special ops teams around the world gave the most. We saluted them and their families on Veterans Day, declaring it “Intl Veterans Day,” since at VCI we include all allies. Fight together; Heal together. Joining us was SCOCOM Commander GEN Bryan Fenton, his CSM Shane Shorter, former SOCOM Cdr GEN Tony Thomas, intl liaison officers among the 28 countries at SOCOM, special wounded warriors, and families. Thank you to all those who joined us on Veterans Day in saying “thank you for your service” to all across the Alliance who fought and defended as one team. Thank you to HRH Princess Marie of Denmark, our co-host SOWGF and Cary Harbaugh, and our intl special ops community. 🫡 Steve Williams Chairman Veteran Coalition Intl (501c3 Charity) vetcoa.org Special Operations Warrior Golf Foundation Cary Harbaugh Veteran Coalition International Veteranskytterne - Danish Wounded Warriors Tampa General Hospital https://lnkd.in/erU3nAVc
To all our partners, allies, and friends around the world, we salute you and your families this Veterans Day on 11 Nov. Thank for your sacrifice and service. We in the United States appreciate and depend on us all standing together. 🫡
Make Veterans Day this year “International” Veterans Day! Salute all who served with us. Throughout our history, when threatened, we turn first to our allies. We fight, defend, and sacrifice together, but too often we forget our allies when we say “leave no one behind.” They have nothing like our Veterans Affairs (VA), public and bipartisan support, and volunteer organizations. Share that love with them and their families. They care about us and stand with us in some of the darkest places in the world, even we forget about them, even when we think just about ourselves, and even when we are hard to work with. On Veterans Day, include our allies and their families around the world, when you say, “thank you for your service.” If in the Tampa area on 11 Nov, join or support us in saluting them at our “Salute to Bravery” event, with SOWGF. At our similar event last July, the day before the NATO Summit in DC, we honored over 30 countries’ families and veterans. With us again will be HRH Princess of Marie of Denmark. She has been with us across the country meeting with those who need a hug, a hand up, and opportunity for a next mission, to “heal together,” as we “fought together.” 🫡 Steve Williams Chairman Veteran Coalition Intl (501c3 Charity) vetcoa.org Cary Harbaugh Ernest (E.J.)

With Ukraine fighting for survival and Israel now in a multi-front war, the European Defence and Security Conference this year was not to be missed. Professor Maria López, Chief Strategy Officer at VCI, ensured we were in the room and part of the conversation. She noted that "as the defense and security industry grows, it’s clear that more and more European military personnel will be required to serve. It's our duty to ensure that those who serve can heal when they return home to the EU." Now that Europe will gain a dedicated commissioner for defense, it’s essential that veterans have a voice with decision-makers about their lives and livelihoods after service. We’re working hard to ensure they do. Take action with us → https://www.vetcoa.org/
VCI is proud of our work supporting the most acute challenge for veterans today- the fight in Ukraine. Our support to Ukraine is an important aspect of our work and we will support until the needs are met. Join us!

NordLys, Pislya Sluzhby, Veteranskytterne and VCI, support his dad’s recovery. So many more need our help. The commitment to Ukraine must be more than just transferring ammo…it needs to include rebuilding families and the country. 🫡 Steve Williams Chairman Veteran Coalition Intl (501c3 Charity) vetcoa.org Veteran Coalition International Після Служби (“After Service”) Veteran NGO Veteranskytterne - Danish Wounded Warriors Northern Lights NGO/Nordlys Almennyttig Forening SAMUEL HARTWELL Maryana Kovalenko Jacob Panton Ernest (E.J.)

Reporting from #WarriorWeek in Copenhagen! The 🇩🇰 🇫🇷 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 veterans at this weapons training, including multiple Purple Heart recipients and soldiers fresh from the battlefields in Ukraine, showed that they're still capable of hitting targets...at the range and in life. Target your gift to a specific need that we’ve identified to serve veterans and their families, especially those in the fight in Ukraine. https://lnkd.in/gZVXGWCd
