When we first began supporting Unturning Steel, I knew it would be meaningful work. What I didn’t expect was how personal it would feel.
As a military spouse, I’ve watched my husband serve faithfully for 25 years. I’ve walked through deployments, homecomings, career changes, and now—our transition out of the Army. So when I meet other veterans and families through UTS, I don’t see strangers. I see us.
Why We Show Up
For me, this isn’t just about building a nonprofit. It’s about building something that honors the sacrifice and celebrates the next chapter—especially for families. Because the truth is, when one person serves, the whole family serves. And when one person transitions, the whole family feels it.
That’s why we’re intentional at UTS about creating opportunities for connection, belonging, and purpose—not just for veterans, but for their spouses and children too. Whether it’s a workshop, a welcome packet, or a kind word over coffee—small acts of hospitality create lasting impact.
Volunteers Are the Heartbeat
I’ve met volunteers who give their time after work to mentor veterans. Retirees who offer administrative support because they “just want to help.” Families who write thank-you notes to service members they’ve never met.
These people may not be in the spotlight—but they are the reason this mission moves forward
A Note to Donors & Supporters
Every dollar you give makes a real difference—but so does every moment you share, every post you like, every time you tell a friend about what we do.
You may not always see the ripple effect. But I do. In the tears of a spouse who feels seen. In the confidence of a veteran who found a second chance. In the joy of a child whose parent came home with hope.
Final Thought
If you’ve ever wondered whether your effort matters—it does.
Unturning Steel isn’t just an organization. It’s a family. And there’s always room at the table for one more person who’s willing to serve, encourage, or believe in someone’s next chapter.
Thank you for walking this road with us.
