This Laramie Live piece is a great reminder of what’s happening across Wyoming: veterans are stepping up to support other veterans in real, meaningful ways.

At VTTV, we see this every day. Veterans and veteran spouses are training as health and wellness coaches and showing up for their communities with compassion, commitment, and a deep understanding of what service really means.

The more people who know these programs exist, the more veterans we can reach.

A new scholarship program aims to turn Wyoming veterans' stories into strength, offering coaching training to help them support their communities.

The article below featured in the Cody Enterprise newspaper highlights the work Wyoming is doing to change the story for veterans. VTTV trains veterans and veteran spouses as trauma informed health and wellness coaches who offer connection, support, and a path toward growth.

These coaches meet veterans where they are, helping them navigate hardship, build community, and strengthen their sense of purpose. Their work is making a real difference across Wyoming.

We appreciate Governor Mark Gordon and Tim Sheppard from the Wyoming Veterans Commission for continuing to elevate this conversation and for recognizing the importance of resilience, community and meaningful support for those who have served.

It’s okay to not be okay, and no one has to walk through it alone.

Today we honor the many faces of those who have served. Veterans are leaders, workers, community members, friends, and family. They carry stories that are personal and meaningful. Some are shared. Some are kept close. Service is part of who they are, but it is not the whole picture.

Thank you for your presence, your strength, and your continued commitment to community.

We see you. We appreciate you. We thank you.

As we head into the week where we celebrate Veteran’s Day and honor those who have served our country, we wanted to share an article written by Dawn Longie, a veteran spouse and advocate from Park City, Montana. Her writing focuses on leadership, accountability, and the values that keep veterans and their families thriving long after service ends. Please take the time to read her powerful words.
