Please Help Me Create Steemit's New Community to Support Military Veterans #veterans

I am trying to start a new Steemit community that will benefit active-duty military and veterans #veterans. After some input from Steemit Pros, I want to change the tag to simply #veterans. Please check out, support and RESTEEM my first two posts dedicated to this new community:

https://steemit.com/steemit-veterans/@jdawg/help-me-start-a-steemit-community-for-a-deserving-group

https://steemit.com/steemit-veterans/@jdawg/my-intro-for-steemit-veterans

As a veteran myself, I have seen first-hand the sacrifices that these dedicated men and women endure for us. I served four years active-duty Air Force where I was a K-9 Military Police Officer.

My reason for starting this community is simple. I have a deep found respect and admiration for active-duty military and veterans and have always wanted to help this group. Steemit has given me the platform to do so. There are many active-duty military and veterans living in poverty. There are over 500,000 homeless veterans in a country where we talk so much about supporting the troops, but in reality these people are completely forgotten about once they leave service. There are WWII veterans that have to choose between eating and buying their medication. It shouldn't be this way!

If you are an active duty military member, veteran, family or friend of someone serving or that has served, or somebody that supports this group as I do, please help me to get this community up and running. Post an intro, share a story of a special veteran in your life, or whatever you would like to share using the tag #veterans. If I can get this group up and running, I want to use it to give veterans a place to support each other, but most importantly, I want to use it to raise money for active-duty military and veterans in need.

Please help me to get the tag #veterans created so we can use this platform to its fullest potential and help others in need. Please RESTEEM these posts. This cause is really important to me, please help to get the word out! If we can help ease the burden on one veteran, it will be worth it. Once I get this group started, I have a veteran in mind that I will be sharing his story and hopefully raising money for him and his family as they are going through a difficult financial time and illness.

All Veterans that have commented below, please follow all other Veterans that have also commented. This way, we can keep updated on one another.

I have and will continue to thank @aggroed and the others who started @minnowsupport. @aggroed has been an early supporter of mine and for that I am truly grateful.

This is brilliant @jdawg! Such a great idea. I was homeless for a year 5 years ago and I'm doing a similar thing to you. Would you be ever so kind to resteem mine for the homeless? It's initiative that counts.

Thank you.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Yes, I will resteem for you. Helping the homeless is a very worthy cause.

A good percentage of the homeless are veterans. Most with PTSD and other issues that never got treated.

Absolutely, that is why it is important for us to create awareness and solutions to help these heroes.

Thank you for all that you do. Will resteem those posts in support of our veterans, both past and present, as well as my recently deceased father who was Marine. Semper Fi!

Thank you for the kind comments and support! Sorry about the loss of your father.

Hey Jdawg, Im glad this post has blown up and it allows more people to see this group. I was about to make a post about this group and still will do it! Hope to see more people use this group

Thanks bud! I appreciate any help you can offer. Let's turn this group into something great!

You have all my support, I am new but I do what I can. Upvote and Resteem! Excellent work, keep going!

Congratulations @jdawg!

Thank you for the support!

Jdawg,
as a retired Army veteran myself, I really appreciate what you're doing. I've seen some pretty messed up situations with veterans and I know that if Steemit can help just a few, it has done something well worth it. Just those few changed lives means a lot. I'm following and have upvoted and resteemed.

Thank you friend! I appreciate the kind comments and support. I agree if we can help just a few veterans it will be more than worth it. I am hoping this really takes off and we can do some good things. Followed back

I will help.

Thank you! Your support is greatly appreciated.

This is a great idea! I'm the daughter of a V Vet and both my brothers are serving. Thank you for doing this!

Thank you for the support and kind comments! Please resteem if you can to get the word out.

Rakkasan, Air Assualt!

Absolutely! Yes. This is what Steemit is for! Let me know how to help. Resteemed Upvoted! I have been promoting #22Kill trying to raise awareness about suicide prevention in veterans. Keep up the good work!

Veterans in the USA are being targetted by the VA! All vets should check out George Webb's youtube channel where he exposes Pakistani RAT lines bring animal quality drugs into the US and then repackaged and sold as full strength drugs through the hospitals.
The investigation begins here

The Clintons, Podesta bros and Awan brothers need to go down for this targeting of US Vets!

Thank you for the comment!

Thanks, I really hope everyone checks out this story and cleans up the VA! I would also encourage younger (high school) people not to join the military!

Very cool idea. My dad is a veteran and he is going to sign up just cause I showed him this post

Wow, to hear that your dad is going to sign up because of this post is absolutely amazing! Thank you for the comment my friend. I am beginning to get overwhelmed by the support.

Forgotten heroes, definitely resteemed and upvoted.

Thank you! It is greatly appreciated.

MCB Camp Pendleton appreciates the support...
Upvoted and followed !!! Good luck in your journey brother 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Great brother! I appreciate Camp Pendleton and the support.

Thank you very much for this GREAT initiative.

Thank you friend!

Thanks for this.

Thank you for commenting and posting the picture! Glad to have you here!

Last thing the deep state wants is a pile of experienced fighters who are healthy and doing well in this country. Sign me up to help.

So true @aggroed! Thank you for your continued support to this little fish! I appreciate it buddy.

Hey hop in Discord please.

Amazing cause. I reteamed the post and would love to contribute. I am a 8 year Army paralegal that focused on legal assistance and California law so may have some helpful information for soldiers in need.

That's wonderful! You will be a great resource. Thank you for the kind comment and support. followed

Thank you very much for the support! I will check out your post.

An honorable mission. Supported, and much luck in your endeavors!

Thank you very much! You are very kind.

@jdawg As a veteran myself, I am all for this! I will be editing a recent blog to include the #veterans. On an unrelated note, I was wondering what kind of posts you enjoyed reading on Steemit? I ask because I am researching what trending/hot posters are into reading for a future article.

Thank you for the comment and support! I appreciate you including the #veterans tag on your article. It is the only way we can get the tag created. I enjoy reading about cryptos, finances, precious metals, art, travel, cars. Lots of things. followed you

I have posted the blog that I used this info for. You are tagged with a link to this article. Thanks much brother!

I saw that I messed up posting, the link to this article is up and running on my article now.

SALUTE!

Thank you friend!

There are many battlefields and not just the ones soldiers have fought on, might I humbly suggest opening this up to all people who suffer as a result of conflict and not just veterans of that particular field.

Upvote for vets

Thank you for the support!

I don't know you but I thank you for your patriotism and loyalty to our great soldiers and country!

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words and support.

This was a great post. Thank you for sharing. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you future work!

Thank you friend! I appreciate the support and comment.

Great idea you have shared

Thank you for the comment!
