Official Notice of Operational Closure
Effective immediately, Voice of the Veteran will cease operations and withdraw from all current and future involvement related to the Day of Gratitude initiative.
This decision comes after it became clear that the event is no longer being structured in a manner consistent with the Veteran-led mission and governance principles under which Voice of the Veteran originally developed and supported the program.
Voice of the Veteran has always believed that initiatives bearing the trust of our Veteran and Military community must maintain clear Veteran-informed leadership, transparent oversight, and an unwavering focus on the best interests of Veterans, Military members, and their families. When those conditions can no longer be assured — and when our ability to responsibly represent and protect the Veteran community is materially diminished — we have both a professional and moral obligation to step aside.
We remain proud of the foundation that was built and the historic impact achieved. However, we will not lend our name, reputation, or support to any effort where our voice and fiduciary responsibilities cannot be meaningfully and legally exercised.
Our mission continues forward through Veterans World Magazine and related national initiatives dedicated to ensuring that Veterans and their families are heard, respected, and properly served.
Results Don’t Lie.
