Whether you're serving on active duty, a veteran, or supporter of our veteran community, you don't want to miss this! The VBC purpose is three-fold: 1) Assist transitioning service members through networking, discussions of important events, introductions to industries across the region, and ensuring service members are personally introduced to leaders in the aforementioned groups. 2) Translate our military service to community service, ensuring we continue our leadership into non-profit, volunteer, and civil service organizations. 3) Continue our sense of camaraderie, thus safeguarding the bonds established during our military service and establishing a safety net of resources for veterans.

Honoring Our Heroes: A Social Story for Memorial Day What is Memorial Day? It's a special day in the United States (on the last Monday of May) to remember all the brave men and women who served in the military. These are people who wear uniforms and protect our country. Why do we remember them? ️ Some of these heroes fought in battles to keep us safe, and some might not be here anymore because they died protecting our freedom. How do we celebrate? We visit cemeteries (special places where people are buried) to place flowers on their graves. We might see parades with flags and people in uniforms. (Flags represent America!) What can you do? Help hang a flag! Draw pictures to thank veterans! Spreading Awareness: As we approach Memorial Day, consider sharing resources about veterans' services or organizations supporting military families with your network. #MemorialDay #SocialStory #AutismAwareness #ThankYouVeterans #RememberingHeroes

We’ve got a problem. The demand for support from bereaved military families far, far outstrips what we at Scotty’s can afford. We can’t keep up. We need to generate £2m this year just to stand still and yet there are over 2,000 children bereaved of a parent who served every year. What you can do to help… ➡️ Can your business sign up to our Business Heroes Club? It’s £250/£500/£1k a month. ➡️ Could you nominate Scotty’s as your company’s charity of the year? ➡️ Can you afford to make a small donation? ➡️ How about fundraising at the Scotty’s March? ➡️ Or what about donating a % of sales from a product line? Together we can provide the support our bereaved military families deserve, but we need your help 🙌
📊 New Data📊 Each year, around 2,100 children experience the death of a parent who served in the British Armed Forces. Scotty’s Little Soldiers currently supports over 680 of these brave children, but we need your help to reach more. Help us expand our support services. Your contribution can make a difference. 👉 Support Our Heroes' Children today: https://lnkd.in/gtk7PTRM #ScottysLittleSoldiers #SupportOurHeroes #MilitaryFamilies #DonateNow #ArmedForcesDay #VeteransSupportingVeterans

As a nation, we have always celebrated our Armed Forces, and rarely more so than during Armed Forces Week. But, with more than 7,000 people leaving than joining last year, our Armed Forces face an existential recruitment and retention challenge. There is no question that the lived experience of our service personnel, on the sites they call home, plays a significant part in people’s decision on whether they want to join, or will continue to serve. As the result of an insightful collaboration with military leaders, industry experts, the charitable and academic sectors and our Sodexo team we have pulled together a white paper discussing the future of the lived experience on base in the 2030s. Please see the report here: https://lnkd.in/drmGRvHs

As we head into #armedforcesweek, I would really encourage my network to read this brilliant thought leadership document. The paper is the result of a Sodexo led roundtable that brought together many strategic leaders and interested parties in Defence to discuss the Lived Experience. #defenceinfrastructureorganisation #ministryofdefence

Some fascinating commentary from Defence leaders and others working in this space - what is the reality of the lived experience for our Armed Forces and what does this need to look like in 2030? #ArmedForcesWeek #ArmedForcesDay #ArmedForcesCommunity

The relationship between entertainers - especially comedians - and armies around the world is a curious one. In the course of humour studies, what I learned in over 200 books and several hundred jounral articles taught me that Humour Studies is the key to the very highest order of conflict resolution. In all settings. In all cities. In all spaces. If we can say that miscommunication and misunderstanding are at the heart of every conflict... It is a truism that the best and most nuanced communicators are the best peace bringers. That is. The best communicators and the best poets, writers, debaters, orators, tv and theatre actors, satirists, humorists, standups, musicians - and all artists... Those whose craft is to gaze upon the infinite expanse of all things and communicate something to someone... indexed in a punchline, or a pun, or a joke or a gag. These very people synthesise the most. Notice the most. Perceive the very most. Rowan Atkinson, Sacha Baron Cohen, Charlie Chaplain, Eddie Murphy, Peter Cook... The list is endless. If Taylor Swift can restructure economies - and please check the Harvard curriculums teaching who what when where and how if you're not up to date - perhaps the very best living communicators and actors can too? They already have. But perhaps we can invite them to help us? Help them help us even? Why? When we can communicate and connect ideally in all spaces on this planet... Efficiently and effectively? World peace and mirth will be in every headspace. And thus every space. And then? We will, each and together, travel to space. This is the power of laughter, joy, mirth, jokes, puns, slapstick humour, cartoon, punchlines, jibes, riposte, satire, doodles, chuckling, guffawing - and whatever you're into. Whatever I'm into. Whatever we share. However we connect. Say no to war. Say yes to humour.
At a home just a short walk from campus stands a quiet and unassuming, yet powerful, memorial. These boots have been worn over several tours, been through combat, been in the mountains of Afghanistan, and through the streets of Iraq. Their owner, a US Marine, returned from combat and then finished his degree at Norwich. While a student, he befriended the home’s owner, a fellow combat veteran herself, and gifted the boots to her. Since then, the boots have quietly sat through sun, wind, rain, and snow, just as the tens of thousands of soldiers who have worn similar boots. The memorial has kept a quiet vigil as thousands of Norwich students have passed by the home over the years. Although quiet, the memorial speaks volumes to those who have served.

This post is essential reading. NZ has been on a pathway of increasing division for some years, and it is collective weakness. Defence veterans show NZ the way. Integration, dialogue, learning from history and setting a joint culture pathway to the future is essential. Do we want to continue the pathway we are on and reach the terrible outcomes that Bosnia, Germany, and Rewanda did in the past? OR shall we act on the Defence example. A society that stands together is a strong society. Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi (With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive)
"Having spent many years in the military, many of my fellow soldiers were Pākehā, but we did not look at each other as Māori or Pākehā, just fellow soldiers/mates." This quote illustrates the true nature of the unity experienced by New Zealand veterans. In the NZDF, the bond between soldiers transcends racial and cultural differences. We stood/stand/will stand and fight together as one, supporting and protecting each other, as brothers and sisters. In this, there is a salutary lesson for our current and future society. In New Zealand today, where societal divisions seem more prominent than ever due to the agenda driven narratives of a self serving minority on both sides, much can be learnt from the solidarity displayed by our veterans. Their example demonstrates that racial unity and mutual respect are eminently achievable, especially amidst adversity. If you're having difficulty figuring out how to do it, ask a New Zealand veteran. No Duff Charitable Trust Nos Adepto Fieri Stercore https://lnkd.in/gjrmVV2p
