I know LinkedIn is very corporate-focused, and a great place to learn and grow as an employee or employer. However, there are huge benefits in both of those areas in volunteering. Yes, I mean volunteering, not 'voluntolding' in the workplace!! I do a few things around the place, but one of the ones that brings me the most joy is my work with the Australian Fromelles Association. It's a role that unites two of my great loves, Australian military history (especially World War 1), and genealogy research. For years we've been gradually chipping away at identifying all of the unknown soldiers found (through the work of a Lambis Englezos, who is a retired teacher!) at Pheasant Wood in France, all killed in the Battle of Fromelles and buried in a mass grave. I spend about ten hours on the project every couple of months, using my expertise in South Australian records to deal with any SA-based angles other researchers have thrown up during the previous few weeks. I trawl BDM records, newspaper records, cemetery records and a few niche local sources to help find living relatives of WW1 soldiers that can then be approached to submit a DNA sample. If they are from SA, I'm the lead researcher and it's on me to find everything we have in SA that might lead to a living descendant. Last year, for the first time, a soldier I provided the primary research for was identified, and now he lies in a named grave rather than one dedicated to 'the unknown soldier'. Through my involvement in my school's France Trip, it's very likely that in years to come I will get to visit Oscar Baumann's named grave and know that was a gift I gave to him and to his family; a way to say 'thank you' for his service and sacrifice. If you don't currently have a genuine volunteer or community service role, I encourage you to take one on. Think about what skills you have and who might be able to make use of those. Dollars in the bank are not the only way to be rewarded. https://lnkd.in/ge_zH46b

Every Blip on the Radar Matters..... Today is Giving Tuesday, and I want to share why I work with Avalon Action Alliance and why this mission matters so deeply to me. I’m not here to turn fellow veterans into victims or feed/target the "veteran industry", I’m here for impact. To drive meaningful change, coordinate efforts…. and above all help the team get veterans and first responders, that are in need, back in the fight—living with strength, purpose, and the ability to bounce back. Every dollar donated, even just one, is a blip on the radar—a powerful message that you believe in what we’re doing. That you stand with us in saying that me and my fellow veterans deserve more than a system that commodifies our challenges. Our community needs real care, real opportunities, and a real path to thriving. We’re not about numbers; we’re about lives. About creating lasting, tangible impact for those who have sacrificed so much. Every donation, every share, every voice proves that we’re on the right path. So today, I’m asking you: Stand with us. With every veteran and first responder who needs to know their service and sacrifices were not in vain and they are welcomed back into the communities they fought for. Join me in making today a #DayOfImpact. Together, we can heal, rebuild, and empower. https://lnkd.in/e8CaXUds #ThankYou #Grateful #GivingTuesday #WeCantDoThisWithoutYou #StandWithVeterans#AvalonActionAlliance #veterans, #SOF #GreenBeret #community #army #navy #spaceforce #airforce #marines #firefighters #police #firstresponders #coastguard #TBI # PTS #PTSD #SOBERLIVING #thrive #leadership #pmp #projectmanagement #mentalhealth #TransformLives

Today is Giving Tuesday—a global day of generosity and a reminder that we all have the power to make a difference. As a veteran, I know firsthand the life-changing impact that organizations can have. For me, the USO, Student Veterans of America, and American Corporate Partners (ACP) were instrumental in my journey from military service to civilian life. They provided resources, mentorship, and a sense of community when I needed it most. Giving back doesn’t always mean writing a check. It could be volunteering your time, sharing your expertise, or even amplifying the mission of a cause that matters to you. Every act of kindness adds up. Today, I encourage you to reflect on the causes close to your heart. What organizations have impacted your life or the lives of those you love? How can you help them continue their mission? If you’re looking for inspiration, I highly recommend checking out these amazing organizations: 👉 USO 👉 Student Veterans of America 👉 American Corporate Partners (ACP) Let’s make today count by giving back in ways that matter. Share your favorite cause or a story of generosity in the comments—I’d love to hear how you’re making an impact this Giving Tuesday. #GivingTuesday #Generosity #Veterans LinkedIn for Nonprofits
