This veterans day, see the difference you can make. Don, a veteran, was struggling to read his favorite magazines after losing his site. Then he discovered Aftersight. “ Aftersight sees me even though I do not see.” After Don received his free smart speaker from Aftersight, he now listens to his favorite magazines like Veterans Life Magazine and stays connected to the stories and community he loves. Your support helps veterans like Don stay informed, independent, and inspired. Support veterans like Don. www.ColoradoGivesDay.org/organization/Aftersight
 From our team at Aftersight, we thank all of you who served and are serving our country. You are not forgotten.

My grandfather served as a Marine in World War I and my father followed in his footsteps, serving in Korea. Happy 250th Birthday and Semper Fi to all who have worn the uniform and to those who carry its torch into the future!

Today we celebrate Navy Day! Although the Navy’s official birthday is now recognized as October 13, 1775, we at Veterans Life Magazine choose to celebrate it today — October 27 — the date long known nationwide as Navy Day until it was changed.

First observed in 1922, Navy Day was created by the Navy League of the United States to honor the men and women we call sailors. The date was chosen to mark both what was then believed to be the Navy’s founding and the birthday of President Theodore Roosevelt, one of its greatest champions.

Today, we salute all who serve at sea. Thank you for your courage and sacrifice!

And thanks to Steven King for trusting us to digitize his entire collection of WWII posters and allow us to share them with the community.

We’re proud to share this story from The Johnstown Breeze about our friends and longtime supporters at American Air Heating & Air Conditioning in Windsor — who teamed up with Lennox through the Feel the Love program to help Marine veteran Jon Aragon and his wife, Treasure, receive a new HVAC system.

Since our launch, American Air has stood alongside Veterans Life Magazine, believing in our mission to honor and uplift those who have served. Their ongoing commitment to hiring veterans and giving back through community programs like Health4Heroes and Feel the Love truly embodies what it means to serve others.

The Johnstown Breeze is the independently-owned weekly newspaper for Johnstown and Milliken, Colorado

Our hearts go out to the business owners and residents of Nederland who lost so much in yesterday’s fire at the Caribou Village Shopping Center.

Thankfully, the Carousel of Happiness—handcrafted by Vietnam veteran Scott Harrison—was untouched by the blaze.

Unfortunately, most local news outlets covering the fire have only made casual mention of the carousel, unaware of its extraordinary significance—its beauty, history, and the years of dedication Scott poured into carving each animal, restoring the century-old carousel structure, and reviving its antique music box.

If you’re not familiar with this incredible story, you can read about it in the March/April 2024 issue of Veterans Life Magazine at www.veteranslifemagazine.com
