U.S. Navy Lieutenant Courtenay Nold recommended that I reach out to Christine Walker who owns her own publishing company.
Christine served in the Navy as a Corpsman. After getting out she tried different things but found that writing ultimately was an area that she loved as she worked in different areas of the publishing industry.
Seeing that there was no real magazine focused on writing created solely by Veterans, Christine worked to create what is now Devil Doc Publishing.
Along with Devil Doc Publishing, Christine publishes a magazine called “At Ease”. “At Ease” is published quarterly. All the writing is contributed by Veterans with no filters, or lenses. It is Veterans writing stories about aspects of the military experience in a way that we who served can appreciate.
The power of writing to heal and connect can’t be taken for granted. Our conversation is a great example of a Veteran taking what they love and using it to help others.
Go to www.Ateaseveteransmagazine.com to learn more and subscribe. Thank you, Courtenay, for the recommendation. Christine, a Doc’s work is never done. Thank you for serving us.

Lee grew up in New Orleans and served as a Communications Officer in the U.S. Army. After getting out, Lee used his experiences to write about 12 Perspectives to Inner Peace. “Look To The Warriors” demonstrates how military experiences and services can be lessons to everyone regardless of the challenges they are facing. Talking with Lee, I learned that “Look to the Warriors” takes real military experiences from Lee and others and distills them into the 12 Perspectives. These perspectives allow someone who is not in the military to get an in-depth look at how adversity and challenges were turned into victories. You can get “Look to the Warriors: 12 Perspectives to Cultivate Inner Peace” on Amazon now (Link Below). https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin… You can also find Look to the Warriors at Tactical 16 Publishing (https://tactical16.com/product/look-t…) and anywhere else books are sold. Find out more about Lee and his other books by going to http://leekelley4.com/ Thank you, Lee, for sharing about how Warriors can be an example of resilience and success in the face of adversity.

Tony served in the Navy and started his Veterans’ Advocacy in 2013.
He rides his motorcycle across the United States to bring comfort to Gold Star Families.
When Tony connects with Gold Star Families the time spent lets them know that they are not forgotten. If possible Tony will use the support given to the Gold Star Foundation to assist families where needed.
This conversation is another example of a Veteran taking what he has and using it to bring comfort to others. Gold Star Foundation is a non-profit and is funded through donations. Consider supporting Tony today.

I couldn’t help it. My first thought when I started looking at the website for the book, “We Don’t Want You, Uncle Sam”, was, what would a 2nd Lieutenant know about recruiting? Seriously? Then I started digging into the website and reading about Matthew Weiss’ view on the recruiting problem for the military and the solutions needed to fix it. I began to realize that Lieutenant Weiss may be onto something. I wanted to learn more.
Matthew joined the Marine Corps less than two years ago. His MOS is Signals Intelligence. Learning about the recruiting issues that surround the military, Matthew set out to learn about the problem affecting the military with the Gen Z demographic.
“We Don’t Want You, Uncle Sam”, is a bold solution to the recruiting problem in the U.S. Military. It is based on analysis from the 100K foot perspective but has personal stories woven into the narrative. This demonstrates how much thought Matthew put into this work. He is a Gen Z Marine working to connect with other Gen Z individuals who may or may not be considering military service. We talked about how the Marine Corps experience shaped both our lives. As we delved deeper into the book, I realized that maybe the ones to lead us out of the recruiting situation the American military is in right now may not be senior leadership, but junior enlisted and officers who understand the world through the eyes of those who were born after September 11th. I am glad I looked past the rank and talked with this Marine about why he cares about our military.

I was introduced to Bob Notch through Michael Geary of Hellfish Haven. Michael had Bob on our W.A.R (We are Resilient) collaboration and Bob was on with his to talk about the Veterans Collaborative.
Bob served in the Army and flew the UH-60 Blackhawk. Later in his Army career, he transferred to the Army Reserve where he finished his time in the military.
After serving he transitioned through a couple of civilian jobs until he was asked to be CEO of Veterans Collaborative.
According to the mission statement, “gathers targeted and current local and virtual event listings, information, resource trackers, and directories relevant to various service areas and resource networks. You can directly update the shared calendar appearing throughout the site, as well as resource trackers whenever possible. Making contributions increases the efficiency of outreach efforts and saves everyone in the network the energy of creating and maintaining various resource lists –– freeing up everyone’s time to focus on their individual missions and impact.”
I wanted to quote this because too many times Veterans Organizations hold onto the tools and information, they have instead of figuring out how to take what they have and work with other organizations to be better advocates for Veterans.
The concept of Veterans Organizations working together means that we can go further together. We learn in the military that no one fights alone, and it should be the same when we are advocating for Veterans. Let’s Collaborate
Thank you for coming on and talking with me Colonel.
