With 2023 upon us, how can you act on your New Year’s resolutions? To reach some of your goals, you can look to Veterans Advantage’s exclusive offers.

One of our long-time offers is more valuable than ever. We offer a complimentary financial analysis report with VetRewards, so you can plan for your future, with investments, college & retirement planning, and insurance advice. Want to improve your health in the new year? Check out health tracking & training from Polar and AudioCardio. Or sign up for a healthy meal plan delivery service with The Good Kitchen or Seattle Sutton’s.

Check out some of our exciting new benefits - Acorns for your investments, and Chubb for short-term disability coverage.

Lastly, with an eye on the calendar, we want to recognize the many veterans who served in Operation Desert Storm, which began thirty-two years ago on January 17. Our efforts there resulted in successfully removing Iraq’s forces from Kuwait. And 42 years ago, on January 19, the 52 American hostages held at the American Embassy in Iran were released after 444 days of captivity.

WeSalute Awards Scott's View: Military Mindset, Championship Results: Mike Macdonald’s Path to the Super Bowl Before the Seattle Seahawks hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, WeSalute was proud to profile Coach Mike Macdonald and the deep-rooted military values that define his leadership. As the son of a West Point graduate, Mike grew up with a front-row seat to the discipline and dedication required of our nation's leaders. This upbringing has clearly translated to the gridiron, where he has infused the Seahawks with a culture of strategic precision and relentless resilience. Our early look at his "VetFamily" roots proved to be a foreshadowing of the championship success that follows when military principles are applied at the highest levels of professional sports.
