This partnership will focus on a variety of initiatives, including:
Abraham Lincoln famously stated, "Let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan," Our Veterans and their families have sacrificed so much for our shared freedoms, and at August Interactive, we believe it's each of our responsibility to support veterans in meaningful ways," said Kristin Wood, CEO & Co-Founder at August Interactive. "From the moment we met the community at Operation Resilience to now beginning this journey together, The Independence Fund family has welcomed us with open arms. We are so excited to combine our strengths to create something truly special—an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who have served.
