  • You Are Still a Veteran
    Oct 1 2025
    Too many Veterans feel forgotten or question if they “count” because of their discharge status, length of service, or unfinished training. In this first episode, Coach Marsha redefines what it means to be a Veteran and introduces the mission and vision of You Are Still a Veteran (YASAV). She explains how federal law defines “Veteran,” why stigma keeps so many silent, and why your service—whether 11 years or 11 weeks—still matters.
