This weekend, we’re going to race across more than 200 miles through 15 towns on Cape Cod with up to 20-pounds on our backs… Sure, it SUCKS, but do you know what SUCKS even more? It SUCKS to lose someone you love because there were no programs or services available for veterans, who suffered silently after active duty. According to recent surveys, almost 44 veterans kill themselves each day – and that’s 44 veterans a day way too many. The unintended consequences cut deep, reach far and last forever. No one should ever have to experience it, but, unfortunately, many do. How can we help? We can support AMAZING organizations, like HEROES IN TRANSITION INC , that offer unique programs and services to build stronger relationships and better communities for veterans, active service members and their families. ***So, you may be thinking… If it SUCKS, then why do we do it? Simple. WE DO IT – and will continue to do it – FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T.*** Please consider supporting the cause. #HeroesInTransition #Ruck4HIT #4ThoseWhoCant   https://lnkd.in/eUr-hxWc

https://lnkd.in/dgz_5pkW My dear friends and good-hearted people: This post of ours is for a humanitarian action and event. I know there are many like this on the internet. However, you can also search us and see us in person. I am Erkan SUGUT. I am a citizen of the Republic of Turkey. I am the chairman and founding member of a humanitarian aid association in Turkey. A few months ago, I registered a non-profit organization in the United States. Our organization is registered in Delaware. We have received our 501(c)3 tax-exempt status and charitable certification. Our goal is to show society that there are good people and to show people in need that they are not alone. I can say that about 70% of the society is disadvantaged. This is my own opinion. It is not a statistic based on scientific and research. When I research my own environment, I see this many disadvantaged people. When we scale this up and look globally, I'm sure it could be as much as 80%. This is where we come into play. We volunteers provide this service without any benefit or expectation. We do this regardless of salary or any income. It undermines our expectations politically, economically or in any way. Please share this post of mine. This is an act that will benefit every good-hearted person who donates, both in this world and the hereafter. Also, your donations may go to people you do not know, but rest assured, you will feel at peace. There is no donation, no matter how big or small. Do not spare your support to the homeless, the elderly, orphans, widows, those who cannot find a job, addicts, prisoners of fate, immigrants and all disadvantaged people. If you want to research us, you can search with EIN 99-1319013. Contact us. We can give you more detailed information.

On this special ride to Craig Ranch Park, we were joined by the Lionheart Veterans Program, riding #StigmaFree with #FNG to combat the emotional toll of the holiday season. Thanks to our Veteran Trike Brigade Trike Commandoes, including heroes working at the local VA hospital, we navigated the streets safely while managing unexpected challenges like three "Vec Evacs" needed caused by flat tires. Their support empowered us to keep the momentum going and ensure no one was left behind. The holiday season can be a time of deep struggle for veterans, as they cope with isolation, grief, and the absence of family or loved ones. At Forgotten Not Gone, we show up and show out with unique, proactive solutions over suicide #SOS passing them out like medication , bringing veterans together through veteran peer support and outdoor recreation.

That Wasaline chooses Wenaas is based not only on the fact that we offer a well-adapted range for their working environment, but also on Wenaas' ESG work (Environmental – Social – Corporate Governance), which played an important role in the choice of supplier. Even you can make a difference in your daily choices

Short version, when weather looks like warfare, we need to consider tactical answers. Conventional waiting until the nation guard or FEMA gets moving is too slow. Tactical is every bit a real-world training opportunity for units ready to react. Let's provide them opportunity. Parting remark Starlink makes sense, communications is a key player in all such real-world emergencies.

NC Helene Update This weekend was The American Legion NC Fall Conference, in Raleigh. Division 5 reported on the destruction and recovery efforts. To start with the positive, they were overwhelmed with gratitude for fellow American Legion Department’s who rallied to provide support. In particular, they recognized Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico. Post 141, in Howell, Michigan, has donated over $1,000,000 in supplies and funding. A legionnaire in South Dakota donated a brand new RV, packed with supplies to the West. If you’re from one of those departments, be proud. Please know your kindness is felt across our state. The Division has also expressed sincere gratitude for the support of National Guard units, who have gone above and beyond to ensure aid is distributed across difficult to access areas. As for the current state of affairs, Green Mountain is particularly hard hit. It’s expected they won’t have power for another 18 months. As for the death toll, it is far higher than has been reported. Cadaver dogs are still working the land, searching for the missing. Homeless encampments, with excess of 100 individuals, are gone - with no means to identify the residents. As for needs, they specifically need generators, heaters, and money. They do not need clothing. They are specifically requesting money, because the needs are changing quickly (due to weather). In closing, it cannot be overstated how, when shit hits the fan, veterans will always come out of the woodwork to support their fellow Americans. While the devastation is far spread, there are helpers abound. In the wake of this, I have never been more proud to be an American and to be a North Carolinian.
