Veteran Coalition International

“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. ??

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?

“Thank you for the chance for my dad to live!” A picture drawn by the young son of an severely injured Ukrainian soldier. 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. ??

#Denmark is an especially vital country for #NATO and for us at #VCI. Why? Because Danes take on the hard missions and remain resolute. During the NATO mission in #Afghanistan, Danish troops were primarily stationed in Helmand province, one of the most volatile regions in the country, and experienced heavy casualties. Three Danish veterans helped found VCI and currently sit on our Board, advancing our mission to ensure that all those who served together heal together. 1?? ?? Jacob Panton is known throughout Denmark for his heroic actions on the battlefield in Afghanistan that almost cost him his life. His experience has made him a tremendous advocate for wounded warriors across the Alliance and in partner countries like Ukraine where veterans urgently need support. 2?? ?? Nikolaj Frederiksen, better known as “Blueeyes, has served in some of the most dangerous places in the world. US Navy SEALS can attest to the exceptional courage and skill of Danish Frogmen like him. 3?? ?? Speaker of the Danish Parliament, S?ren Gade is one of the rare lawmakers who can speak from experience in warzones and knows himself the sacrifices that military families make. His voice makes a difference for those veterans in the halls of political power. Also serving on VCI’s Board of Directors today is Morten Andersen, a NFL football Hall of Fame player known as “The Great Dane,” together with Her Royal Highness Princess Marie of Denmark as honorary Board Director. ???? We salute all Danish sacrifices and the Danes who champion VCI’s cause...and we'll be in Copenhagen soon for #WarriorWeek. Message us if you'd like to connect. There's lots you can do to contribute to VCI's mission in your country.?Learn more ?? https://www.vetcoa.org/
