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."
