Vet Info – A Journey Forward

“Vet Info: A Journey Forward” is more than just a video — it is a look into the heart of our mission to help Veterans find purpose, connection, and a better quality of life. Through powerful pictures and moments captured along the way, this short presentation highlights Veterans moving forward together through recreation, camaraderie, healing, and support.

At Vet Info, we believe that every Veteran deserves opportunities to reconnect, rebuild, and thrive. Whether through golf, fishing, the arts, community events, or simply being surrounded by others who understand the journey, our goal is to provide hope and purpose one step at a time.

This video is a glimpse into that journey forward.

Missions on the Fairway: Veterans Finding Purpose Through Golf

Every Monday, something special happens on the golf course. Veterans from all walks of life come together through the partnership between Vet Info and the Miami-Dade VICTOR Program to reconnect, recharge, and keep moving forward.

Through the support of Miami-Dade County’s VICTOR Program, green fees and carts are covered so our Veterans can get out on the course without the burden of cost. Vet Info proudly supports the program by providing food, golf balls, tees, clubs, and instruction whenever available to help make each outing meaningful and enjoyable.

But this is about more than golf. It’s about camaraderie, purpose, laughter, and creating an environment where Veterans can support one another while improving both physical and mental wellness. Every swing, every conversation, and every round played together helps strengthen the bond between those who served.

Thank you to the Miami-Dade VICTOR Program for believing in the power of Veteran engagement and to every Veteran who shows up each Monday ready to encourage one another and enjoy the game together.

U.S. Military Veteran Lanita’s Testimony about Vet Info and Recreational Therapy outings.

Golf is more than just a game… it’s connection, purpose, healing, and engagement for our Veterans. 🇺🇸⛳

Through the Victor Program and Vet Info, Veterans are finding camaraderie, support, and a community that understands that the conflict does not always end on the battlefield.

From the first tee to the final putt, golf creates opportunities to reconnect, build confidence, reduce isolation, and remind Veterans they are never alone.

Vet Info is proud to continue using recreation, mentorship, and engagement programs to make a difference in the lives of Veterans every single day.

“No Veteran Left Behind.”

A Night to Remember with the Miami Symphony.

Vet Info & Miami Symphony – A Night of Music & Honor Vet Info, in collaboration with the Miami Symphony Orchestra, proudly brought Veterans together for an unforgettable evening of music and appreciation. Veterans were personally invited by Conductor Eduardo Marturet to attend the Whispers of the Future concert at the iconic Adrienne Arsht Center. The evening featured two world premiere musical works, creating a powerful and inspiring experience for all in attendance. This special night was a meaningful reminder of how music can unite, uplift, and honor those who have served. We are grateful to the Miami Symphony Orchestra for opening their doors and hearts to our Veterans and for making this night truly memorable.

On October 18th, Vet Info, in partnership with U.S. Southern Command Garrison, MWR, and the BOSS Program, hosted Fishing Club Saturdays at the facility. The event was a big success, giving service members and their families a chance to enjoy the outdoors together.
Children and adults alike had the opportunity to learn fishing techniques from Vet Info staff and Bass Pro Shops Pro Staff Captain Bill Watts. While not everyone landed a catch, smiles were abundant and memories were made!
We’re excited to continue this fun and educational event into 2026 — helping even more families get hooked on fishing.
