Executive Director Karl Monger and  VetRec Nick Ostrowski discuss the importance of raising awareness for Veteran's transitional struggles. Creating campaigns that are connecting civillians to veterans in order to change the narrative. Impacting fundraisers like VetRec's Million Meter Row are changing the way the our country sees veterans. Roughly 20 veterans a day commit suicide nationwide, according to new data from the Department of Veterans Affairs — a figure that dispels the often quoted, but problematic, “22 a day” estimate yet solidifies the disturbing mental health crisis the number implied.” Our purpose is to raise money and awareness for United States Military Veterans. In its third year, the Million Meter Row brings together 40 teams each rowing 25,000 meters to reach 1,000,000 meters for the day on Concept2 stationary rowing machines. June 1st, 2019 Million Meter Row. -WRAP  Welcome to the GallantFew Podcast. We have created a nationwide network of successfully transitioned veterans that engage locally with new veterans.

Our government's response is one-size-fits-all, the VA is slow to serve  and those serving the tip of the spear have difficulty asking for help when they return home. Many of our GWOT veterans have lost purpose and hope. It Starts with a lack of identity after military service, which can make one feel like he or she does not fit or belong. This can translate into frustration with schools, jobs and family relationships and can be exacerbated by alcohol and drug abuse, NOT to mention the cocktails of prescription drugs issued by the VA for anxiety and insomnia. Left unchecked, it feeds isolation. GallantFew Focuses on Functional Fitness. So what is Functional Fitness? Functional means usable in daily life. Fitness means it can be measured and with intentional planning and focus can be improved. In this podcast Karl Monger and Dr. Kelly Burris from The Burris Institute discuss Burris Coaching and how it can change your spiritual, social, professional, physical and emotional wellbeing.

Easter is a story of resurrection, and while this story certainly isn’t of Biblical proportions, what you will hear is a story of destruction, submission, acceptance, and redemption. This story is meant to let those out there in the struggle know that they are not alone, that what they are going through isn’t unique to them. That if they are willing to share, that we are willing to listen.
