Happy Friday Friend! With yesterday being Veteran’s Day I want to continue the honoring, supporting, talking about how amazing our Military personnel are, past + present. I want to bring attention to an amazing company called Til Valhalla Project that helps our Veterans to end the statistic of 22 Veterans die a day by suicide. That is unacceptable. We need to get that number to 0 + fast!
**Full disclosure- I am not an expert on this so if I say something that you don’t agree with, please just tell me kindly + I’ll fix it okay?**
To be honest, + I said this yesterday Veteran’s Day should be everyday. The sacrifice that they make by putting their life on the line for our freedom is immeasurable. It doesn’t end there though. The things they see, the things they have to do its heartbreaking + it stays with them forever. If they are lucky to make it back home, they still have demons they have to face everyday. Insert the Til Valhalla Project!
✨ HOW IT STARTED ✨
[As always I took the wording from their website because they just say it so much better than I can!]
“On May 19, 2016, one of Korey’s closest friends from the Marines, took his own life.
In mourning, Korey created a memorial plaque in honor of his fallen brother. He thought having a plaque help the pain, but it was just too difficult. He decided to gift the plaque to the mother of the fallen Marine.
Shortly after, he started getting requests for plaques to be made and gifted to other families across the nation and that’s when he decided to invest in equipment like laser engravers and table saws, just to keep giving back.
Memorializing these fallen heroes became a full time job and though he was paying out of pocket and not accepting donations, Korey was ecstatic knowing that when people saw the plaques it was helping that Hero live on.
So. Til Valhalla Project became official in 2017.”
✨ WHAT THEY DO ✨
[As always I took the wording from their website because they just say it so much better than I can!]
Til Valhalla Project is an amazing company who ” want to show these families that someone out there, is always thinking of their loved one, and cares about preserving their legacy too. This is why Til Valhalla Project doesn’t discriminate our fallen Heroes by cause of death or when they passed, we want to honor ALL fallen Heroes equally, because they all chose to selflessly serve our nation.”
