Time it Takes to Read:

What’s up with FreedomSystem.org lately?

Lots of big things are happening!  We are excited to educate you on what is going on with our up-and-comings. We have several partners and we have several things on the horizon.  We have a lot of events that are coming in the near future.  We are working hard at helping Veterans and trying to help all the Veterans as much as possible.

We are working on several different programs that are dedicated to help Veterans.  The first of them being a martial arts class.  This class will be a free class to Veterans, the only fees they will be responsible for are the testing fees, which will be at a reduced rate. (Testing fees cover new belt costs and association fees.) This class is called:

Project: Military Relief will start on or around December 5th, 2016.

We have just applied for our first official grant to start our programs.  We are going to be starting a complete marketing platform on our website, social media, and news outlets.  The class will be held at a place called Scrappers Rescue, which is one of our partners!  We are excited to announce our partnership with them as well!

FreedomSystem.org is also planning several different fundraisers that would be fantastic if you, all that read this, could share this website with all of your friends.  We are working on several items that will get us into our own place.  We have a ginormous list of what we are going to do and what we our wanting to do.  We will need volunteers and community support; wherever said community is.  We pledge to help Veterans as much as we can, but we can only help if we have support from the community.

Other FreedomSystem.org events that will be coming, but do not yet have a date, but a tentative time frame:

  • Martial Arts Tournament: March 2017
  • Silent Auction and Dance: TBD 2017
  • Ruck March with a Pet (Scrappers Rescue team up): TBD 2017
  • Music Festival: 2018
  • Return to the Vets (Community Event for Veterans, hiring event, homelessness awareness): TBD 2018

Of course there will be more events that we will be a part of like the many varying stand downs that are going to take part in, but we are working on very diligently on getting a brick and mortar place set up.  FreedomSystem.org has many plans and programs to help Veterans.

If there is an event that you would like to see us take part in, please, by all means let us know.

But until then:

PEACE!

Season 4: Episode 6: The Stuff We Don’t Diagnose

The Stuff We Don’t Diagnose is a conversation about the weight people carry when life does not fit neatly into a label. In this episode of Common Veterans, we sit…

Service is Sacrifice

Leaving the military doesn’t mean leaving behind the need to serve. For many Veterans, the loss of purpose isn’t about the job—it’s about the sacrifice, the camaraderie, and the identity…

Season 4: Episode3: The Translation Lie

Introduction One of the most common pieces of advice Veterans hear during transition is simple: “Translate your MOS.” The idea sounds reasonable. Replace acronyms with civilian terminology. Turn missions into projects. Convert leadership into management language. Take...

The History of United States Military Challenge Coins

History Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, challenge coins carry a surprising amount of meaning. Within the United States military, these coins represent recognition, belonging, and shared experience. They are often presented quietly — sometimes by a commander...

Season 4: Episode3: When the Uniform

Introduction We begin the way we always do. Host roll call. A moment to recognize the voices in the room and the stories behind them. This episode is brought to you by Winter Oak Studio, who continues to support conversations that matter. Toast: “To the Uniform....

Beyond Survival – Learning

Learning Importance to Veterans I didn’t set out to create a blog series on this topic. But after re-reading my last article, I realized something — this conversation is needed. The number of people who read it (or at least clicked on it) was higher than I expected....

What is Important to Veterans

I’ve got a question for you… and then a follow-up question. What is important? Why is it important to you? The answers to those questions will make immediate sense to some of you. To others, they’ll sound simple — maybe even obvious. But there’s a difference between...

Season 4: Episode 2: Civilians are Watching

Movies, television, and social media have created familiar images of Veterans — the unstoppable warrior, the haunted survivor, or the flawless patriot. While often meant to honor service, these portrayals can quietly shape how civilians view and interact with Veterans...

Anxiety of Everyday Life

Understanding Anxiety in the Life of Veterans Anxiety in the scheme and life of things comes in many different forms and changes within the confines and communities of military Veterans. Soldiering is not a minimal commitment- there are soldiers that deserve and earn...

Season 4: Episode 1: That’s Bullsh*t

We’re not starting Season 4 quietly. We’re not easing in with a polite “welcome back.” We’re kicking off 2026 with a full-throttle “that’s bullsh*t!” and we’re doing it the only way we know how — loud, honest, and unfiltered. Welcome to Common Veterans Season 4. This...
