Jacksonville, FL — National Invest In Veterans Week® (NIVW), co-founded by visionary entrepreneur and Iraq War veteran Jeff Shuford, is making a historic move by securing the largest collection of veteran-focused domains outside of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. This unprecedented expansion underscores NIVW’s commitment to creating localized platforms for veterans across the U.S. and around the globe, ensuring that they have access to tailored resources, opportunities, and community support.
"This initiative represents more than just domain ownership; it's about empowering veterans and building a global network of support," said Jeff Shuford, co-founder of National Invest In Veterans Week®. "Every domain we’ve secured is a testament to our mission of ensuring that veterans, no matter where they live, have a digital space where they can find the resources they need to succeed."
Unmatched Digital Infrastructure for Veterans
NIVW has expanded its domain portfolio significantly, offering a digital platform for nearly every state, key territories, and numerous international regions. These platforms provide veterans with region-specific services and resources, ensuring that each community’s unique needs are addressed. From career assistance to health resources and business support, veterans will now be able to access information tailored to their geographical location.
LTC (Ret.) Pope, a senior advisor at NIVW, reflected on the expansion: "The digital age requires that we meet veterans where they are. These domains will provide a wealth of localized knowledge that will enhance the veteran experience and ensure that no one falls through the cracks."

"By creating these domains, we’re giving them both—localized help and a global community of fellow veterans."
Global Syndication of NIVW Magazine
In a groundbreaking move, National Invest In Veterans Week® has become the first brand to create a network of nationally and internationally syndicated veteran contributors.

"We’ve built a platform where veterans can contribute on both a national and international scale, elevating their stories to a worldwide audience," Shuford remarked. "It’s about creating opportunities and amplifying the impact of the veteran community."
Pioneering the First International Veteran-Focused Progressive Web App
In addition to the expansion of its veteran contributor network, National Invest In Veterans Week® has launched the first international Progressive Web App (PWA) designed specifically for veterans. Available across global platforms, this PWA empowers users to access NIVW’s resources seamlessly from any device, with minimal storage requirements and strong privacy protections. "The creation of this app is another step in ensuring that veterans have access to vital resources, no matter where they are in the world," noted Lonnell McCall, a key spokesperson at NIVW. "By combining our nationally and internationally syndicated content with cutting-edge technology, we’re creating a truly global support network for veterans."
Revolutionizing Veteran Support with Technology
The acquisition of these domains reflects NIVW’s forward-thinking approach to veteran advocacy. By investing in these digital assets, the organization is establishing itself as a leader in the digital space, ensuring that veterans can easily access the resources they need.
Lonnell McCall highlighted the importance of this initiative: "Technology is at the heart of modern support systems, and we are ensuring veterans are not left behind. With these platforms, we’re offering them a lifeline—direct, region-specific assistance that makes a tangible difference in their lives."
Drayton Florence, NFL veteran and co-founder of the veteran focused cause, also praised the initiative: "I’ve seen firsthand how much veterans need that extra push when they transition to civilian life. These platforms will be an invaluable resource, giving them the guidance, support, and tools they need to thrive."
A Bold Future for Veteran Advocacy
Looking ahead, National Invest In Veterans Week® plans to continue expanding its digital infrastructure, ensuring that veterans everywhere have access to the services and support they deserve. Jeff Shuford’s visionary leadership has positioned the organization at the forefront of digital stewardship for veterans, and this latest expansion is just the beginning.
"We’re building something that will last for generations," said Shuford. "This is about ensuring that every veteran—no matter where they are—has a place to turn to for support, guidance, and a sense of belonging."
