RP Members and Connections share your stories of the help and services you've provided to other veterans or service members here on RallyPoint since you've been a member!
I’m not asking you to disclose names or personal information and this isn't about who did or didn't do what, but rather about sharing the success of RallyPoint from the aspect of helping our brothers and sisters that are in pain from wounds or disabilities, those looking for work and trying to survive, those that just need a friend or someone to talk with, those needing a home, those needing help with the VA, and the list could go on.
Share a snippet of your success story with the rest of the RP Nation
Here’s a small snippet of my contribution:
“I’ve had the pleasure of helping a number of veterans and service members through Sponsor a Vet Life (SAVL) and along with Kim Bolen we’ve helped a lot navigate the VA Health System. I’ve made a lot of friends and have helped them navigate RP as well. I have a lot more to do, how about you?”

I'm pretty new here and have been mentioned of a blue ribbon, but don't know how to achieve this accomplishment. The best I can do within here is provide random acts of so-called wisdom and or advice

SA Jim Arnold The Blue Ribbon on RP has to do with your profile only James! If you complete all of the profile you'll get additional points and the Blue Ribbon. I've review your account and there are a number of things you can do to improve it and get the Blue Ribbon - send me a message and I'll give you some suggestions.

I have not done anything on Rally Point but I deal with Vets in crisis on my job probably 3 times a week. I talked to 2 today and helped get them streamlined into a specialized unit at local VA.

On RP not much that I can tell, but in the civilian world I have had conversations with a few 'Nam vets, and Iraq war vets. Just listening to them seems to help them out a little.

Lately nothing...changing that tomorrow though! I've been wrapped up in my own schedule, which in today's environment is selfish and dangerously neglectful. Rededication!!!

As promised, spent the day with a vet that was injured in Afghanistan. Talked military, politics, and most importantly family and friends. Easily the best day I have had this year. Great post! Thank you for reminding me of my morale and ethical obligation as a serviceman!

I don't know if I ever help a vet on Rally Point. But I had ever help plenty of veterans. From a young kid fresh from Iraq with both legs missing, to the Wounded Warriors Project, to Help Hospitalized Veterans.

I have hoped to be a voice for those on the usually-opposite end of opinions and mindsets and help people see both sides rationally instead of relying on fear and sometimes silly rhetoric.
