Shield of Sisters (SOS) is a 501c3 veteran organization that was launched in 2022, after many months of planning and creation. The military has an systemic issue that has to be addressed. Military sexual trauma (MST) impacts 1 in 3 lady service members/veterans. In Wisconsin alone, that equals over 9,000 ladies. This number will not decrease, they have already experienced MST. Out of this need, SOS was created to help restore our sister veterans so they can live their story in a new way with a new vision. Comments on the Military and Business Ownership The leadership that the military instills in you prepares you for so many things in life. The drive, determination and unwaivered dedication have helped me create Shield of Sisters.

Comments on the Military and Business Ownership I am a Vietnam Veteran with a son who is currently serving in the Nat'l Guard. As a civilian Chaplain/Counselor for over 20 yrs. I believe that I have learned the importance of "Servant Leadership" putting the needs of others first. Life is short and precious. It is not all about making money. I want to leave this world just a little bit better than I found it. Supporting our Military Chaplains and their spouses is the driving passion behind our efforts to develop Eagle's Rest.

We also conduct emotional freedom classes and emotional freedom techniques retreats for female military soldiers who have experienced MST (Military Sexual Trauma). Comments on the Military and Business Ownership We are not military. We are civilians who started in substance abuse, alternative healing and psychiatric nursing who found over decades that there are less traumatic methods for dealing with trauma when dealing with veterans and soldiers, and those in substance abuse. We believe that people who put their lives on the line for us deserve a chance at having and learning those tools and methods. Once that decision was made, we've learned more about military culture. Peace is paramount.

The MENdleton Foundation was created with one simple idea; leave no brother behind. MENdleton started life as a Facebook group designed to build camaraderie and give Camp Pendleton Marines and Sailors a way to exchange extra gear. One evening, though, a Marine, in a dark place and with nowhere else to turn, reached out for support. Within the hour, dozens had offered him the helping hand he needed. Since that fateful evening, our membership has grown tenfold, but one thing has remained the same; Brotherhood. MENdleton has been, and will remain, a place for Service members to help Service members. MENdleton is comprised of active duty service members and veterans of all branches in two separate functions; a private members only online forum, and our public nonprofit foundation. The MENdleton Foundation is a recognized 501(c)(3) charity which enables us to use generous donations to help us connect veterans, host events, and set up outings as a means to help raise awareness of the suicide epidemic that is plaguing our beloved military. The MENdleton Foundation is on a mission to drop the suicide rate of our veterans to zero, because even one life taken from this world to soon is one too many.

Comments on the Military and Business Ownership Just out of high school and after a year at community college, i joined the United States Army. I was trained in clerical and computer operations MOSs that have positioned me well for the technical society of business. My first duty assignment was Turkey where experience and exposure to travel and other cultures at the onset of my career developed in me a expansive vision of the world. My second assignment was the Military District of Washington which allow me to see civilian government.
