Vet Info attends Miami Gardens – Military Families Back to School Night. 8/8/2026

Military Families Back to School Day Vet Info was proud to join the Miami Gardens Military Advisory Committee for an amazing Military Families Back to School Day, bringing Veterans, military families, and members of the local community together for a day focused on supporting our children and strengthening our military community.

Families received backpacks and school supplies to help local students get ready for a successful school year. The event also featured a picnic-style meal, giving families an opportunity to relax, enjoy great food, and spend time together in a welcoming community environment. Vet Info was also honored to support the safety and well-being of the families in attendance. Working alongside community partners, families were provided with gun locks, while Narcan was provided by The Robin Foundation, helping ensure Veterans and their families have access to important safety resources.

Events like this demonstrate what can happen when military organizations, Veterans, nonprofits, and community partners come together with one common goal: supporting our military families and making our communities stronger. Vet Info is proud to stand beside our Veterans, Active-Duty service members, military families, and the communities that support them.

Vet Info in Partnership with Guitar Center of Miami Provides Guitars for Music Therapy at the Miami VA Hospital

Vet Info is proud to continue its partnership with the Miami VA Hospital, supporting Veterans through the power of music. Together with Guitar Center of Miami, we are once again providing guitars for individual and group music therapy sessions. This marks the third time Vet Info has been able to donate instruments, ensuring that Veterans have greater access to the therapeutic and educational benefits of music.

For many Veterans, the cost of a guitar can be a barrier, leaving them limited to practice only during their weekly classes. Through this program, Veterans who cannot afford an instrument are given the opportunity to take a guitar home to practice and grow their skills. Those who demonstrate commitment by attending classes regularly and showing progress may even earn the chance to keep the guitar, as determined by their instructor.

Thanks to our partnership with Guitar Center, Vet Info has provided more than 20 guitars to date—and we are committed to continuing this effort for years to come, helping Veterans find healing, focus, and joy through music.

Thank you – Neno and staff for the support of Vet Info and the veterans who served our nation.

Vet Info reaches a Major Milestone with over 100,000 unique site visits.

In the first week of June 2025, Vet Info hit a powerful milestone — over 100,000 unique visits to our website in a relatively short time! This surge isn’t just a number — it’s a reflection of a growing community committed to one mission: improving the lives of U.S. Service Members and Veterans, both Active-Duty and retired.

Since launching in 2020, Vet Info has connected with over 10,000 Veterans, Active-Duty members, families, and supporters. What makes this even more meaningful? We’re a 100% volunteer-run initiative — no major corporate funding, no flashy overhead — just real people giving their time, energy, and sometimes their own money to make a difference.

We’re not here to claim we’re the biggest. We’re here because 22 Veterans a day is a number we refuse to accept. Suicide prevention and intervention aren’t side projects for us — they’re at the heart of everything we do.

Our leadership and volunteers are on the front lines of support, working daily to bring hope, help, and healing to those who’ve served. Every visit, every message, every conversation could be the one that changes — or even saves — a life.

This is more than traffic. This is momentum. And we’re just getting started.
