Mission Statement:
Semper Fi and American’s Fund cares for our nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans and the military families. Supporting all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, we provide one-on-one case management, connection, and lifetime support. Today, Tomorrow and Together.
Jasper is a Former Marine and Veteran that shares his experience in the military, how he found his way to Semper Fi and America’s Fund (The Fund). This is a great example of how first impressions can change your life. Jasper was so inspired by The Fund that he got out of the military and joined their cause.
When I asked him why, he said “I didn’t want to spend a day doing something I didn’t love.”
I hope you enjoy Jasper’s journey from Marine to the Veteran 2 Veteran program as much as I did. Seeing someone take action once they were able to see a purposeful direction forward for their life really hit home with me. Jasper speaking from his personal experiences with PTSD helped me see new aspects to my process. He spoke about not being honest with himself and not doing the things he was telling others to do. This is something I saw in myself too. Once I was real with myself and consistently did the things I knew would help, my life changed for the better.

Please share and like on IG, FB, Youtube and Twitter. I am always looking for veterans or first responders who have battled PTSD. Additionally if you support, provide services for these groups, or have extensive knowledge of benefits available for these groups please reach out. I would love to have a chat and share that knowledge with the community.
