National Veterans Business Development Council is excited to welcome the “It’s a Military Life” Corporation to the Military and Veterans Organization Task Force. “It’s a Military Life” program provides resources for veterans and attends to the needs of military children. “It’s a Military Child Life” is a program for military children, teens, and families. “It’s a Military Outreach Life” highlights the nonprofit organization partnerships within the military community.
The “Veteran Pen Pal Project” is about sending letters and care packages to show gratitude to our more seasoned veterans, in addition to supporting our service members and younger veterans who need mentorship and a support system as they serve and transition out of the military. The “Veteran Pen Pal Project” has partnered with “Military Marriage Day” to promote love notes among military spouses as well as with “Veteran’s Last Patrol” to co-host Operation Holiday Salute, which has provided over 34,000 letters to veterans who are in hospice care. Their “It’s a Military Connection” project is a cohort immersion program for military spouses and veterans to guide them on their professional journey.
“It’s a Military Life” Corporation is unique because it brings together those who serve and those who hold down the fort. The military community wouldn’t be what it is today, without both working together.” – Christina Etchberger, Founder
