Despite the variation, every state has safeguards in place to double-check voting systems and processes. Come see for yourself by continuing your service like the 165,000 + patriots already signed up at vetthe.vote

Most veterans know how scary it can be when their time in service comes to an end. Going from serving a mission bigger than yourself to civilian life is a difficult transition, and not everyone finds their footing right away.

For Charles Denike, after nine years in the Army, that new sense of purpose came in an unexpected place: NASCAR. He now serves as the Crew Chief for the No. 23 team at 23XI Racing.

Charles is on of the honorees in our Unsung Heroes campaign, celebrating veterans and military family members who serve behind the scenes, in sports and at the polls.
