Service Before Self Podcast Season 2 Coming Soon

Service Before Self Podcast Season 2 Coming Soon

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. March 29th was established as a day to recognize the sacrifice of those who fought in Southeast Asia. There are 610,000 living veterans out of the 2.7 million who served in Vietnam.

Our nation owes an eternal debt of gratitude for their sacrifice and that of their families. Today’s veterans can talk about their combat experiences in large part because our Vietnam veterans could not or would not. Much of our battlefield knowledge and effectiveness can be attributed to what we learned from our Vietnam veterans. Thankfully, our nation has learned how to separate the warrior from the wars because of the way this generation of veterans dealt with the adversity of coming home from combat. Today and every day, at Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services, we work to honor their service and vow to double-down on our efforts to include this generation of veterans and their families. With your help we have been able to make the lives of all generations of veterans better.

Reflections On 2021

Reflections On 2021

We say thanks to each of you who are champions of our veterans and those touched by military service and assisted Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services during a very challenging year. In gratitude, we are reflecting on 2021 and celebrating Dixon Center’s top 10 highlights of 2021. 

  1. Dixon Center’s impact increased from 2.1 to 2.4 million veterans and military families through our work providing Influence, Ideas, and Actions to individuals and organizations across the country.
  2. Dixon Center refined our 5 focus areas and realigned them into 3 pillars: Work With Purpose, Heal With Honor, and Live With Hope.
  3. Our team planned and convened a 3-day intense and immersive Vision Summit. The event was designed to inform over 100 influencers, leaders, and major donors that desired to learn more of Dixon Center’s work and plans for expanded operations over the next 5 years.
  4. We executed multiple agreements with national trade organizations to expand existing workforce development efforts and focus on providing a pathway for under-represented populations into non-traditional careers.
  5. Dixon Center increased access to resources and strengthened our financial position ensuring our continued presence as a national organization with staying power.
  6. Our podcast “Service Before Self” completed its first season to a steadily increasing audience. Season two, focusing on issues impacting our nation’s veterans and military families is under development.
  7. Dixon Center assisted iHeart Media in the redesign and redeployment of their “Show Your Stripes” platform connecting veterans and their families to resources and supportive services.
  8. It was an honor to make the holiday a bit easier for hundreds of veterans across the country through our Holiday Basic Needs Grants thanks to generous contributions from our Command Council. These grants provided real time relief from the impacts of raising cost in heating fuels, food, and other basic needs.
  9. We welcomed two new advisors to our Command Council, Jerry Pascucci and Tim Thorne.
  10. We are getting back on the road, respectfully and safely. We know that our veterans and the organizations that support them long for face-to-face interactions when they can be safely and appropriately coordinated. We hope to see you soon in person.

Just like you, we reflect on our activities of 2021 to help provide guideposts and goals for our 2022. We hope your reflection does the same. If you want to read more detail on our past year be on the lookout for the 1 February 2022 Bugler which will announce the release of our 2021 Annual Report.

Join us on our journey in 2022 and beyond! Visit Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services to learn more or contact our President, Col. Duncan S. Milne, USMC(Ret.) at dmilne@dixoncenter.org

Holiday Basic Needs Assistance

Holiday Basic Needs Assistance

Due to increased inflation and the pandemic, the end of 2021 gave Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services the opportunity to double-down on our goal that all veterans and their families succeed in the communities where they live. Building upon the success of our Women Veterans Program, and with the support of our donors, we expanded that program during the holidays to address the Basic Needs of veterans in different areas across the country. Allow us to use this forum to recognize our command council who specifically stepped up and provided funding to ensure that nearly 100 veterans and their families had a safe, secure, and warm place to live and celebrate the holidays. They were able to live with hope. As a resource for individuals and organizations interested in the long-term wellbeing of our veterans and their families, we were able to provide basic needs where they were requested so veterans and their families could enjoy their holidays. As our Chairman always says, and you can see from the attached quotes from a few of the veterans we assisted: “Well done is better than well said.”
If you would like to learn more about our Holiday Basic Needs grants focus to support opportunities to include veterans and their families in your existing programs contact our VP of Programs and Services, Colonel Sam Whitehurst at swhitehurst@dixoncenter.org.
