CONNECTING AMERICA TO HER VETERANS FOR THE PATRIOTIC CIVILIAN

The GallantFew-sponsored Metroport Veterans Association continues hosting second Saturday breakfasts Typical attendance is a mixture of veterans and civilians Civilians benefit from listening to veteran speakers and veterans benefit from telling their stories to civilians

GallantFew was selected to partner with Catalyst Sports to provide adaptive climbing for veterans through a VA grant. GallantFew placed coordinators at eight gyms around the country and provided climbing for over a hundred veterans with disabilities. As part of this program, volunteers from USAA’s military employee resource group (most of them nonveterans) regularly volunteered at veteran climbing nights. Both veterans and civilians created friendships and learned better ways to communicate with each other

GallantFew-founded Brigade V, a collaboration of veteran Employee Resource Groups from across the nation, connects corporations starting or growing military-focused employee resource groups to corporations with robust groups Meeting monthly, group members share best practices in hiring, recruiting, and retaining veterans. Participants include Charles Schwab, State Farm, Leidos, Accenture, Lockheed Martin, and more

GallantFew collaborates regularly with the DFW area to host Memorial Day and Veterans Day events With an attendance of several hundred people, these events connect the local community to the veterans in their own backyards.

The GallantFew team regularly speaks at local community events and meetings, such as Rotary Club, to share a stories of military service and inspire patriotic civilians to take action.
