For many veterans, the battle doesn’t end when they come home.
PTSD isn’t weakness. It’s the weight of experiences carried long after service.
At Veterans Forward, we stand with those who served, offering support, understanding, and a path forward.

If you’re struggling, you’re not alone.
If you know a veteran, check in. It matters.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call 988 and press 1 for the Veteran Crisis Line.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
We honor those who were killed in action—who gave everything for our freedom.
We remember those whose lives were cut short years later due to the lasting effects of their service.
And we hold space for those who fought unseen battles—wounds that didn’t bleed, but still claimed them.
You are not forgotten. You are not alone. Your sacrifice will always be remembered.

At Easterseals Maine, Red Friday (R.E.D. Friday) is a simple but powerful way to show support for our military community. Each Friday, staff and supporters are encouraged to wear red as a reminder to “Remember Everyone Deployed”—honoring the service, sacrifice, and ongoing commitment of those currently serving away from home. This visible act of solidarity helps keep veterans, service members, and their families at the forefront of our community’s mission and reinforces Easterseals Maine’s dedication to supporting those who have served.

We’re proud to share that Sarah Bernier and AJ Jones were recognized with awards of achievement this week for their outstanding work serving Maine’s veterans through our HVRP and VEFAP programs. Their dedication makes a real impact, and we’re lucky to have them on the Fedcap Veterans team.

The awards were presented during the 13th Annual Maine Military and Community Network Conference, a well-attended event focused on strengthening support for veterans and military-connected families across the state.

Keynote speakers included General Bill Libby, Mission Working Dogs, and the Travis Mills Foundation. Afternoon breakout sessions addressed Justice Involved Veterans, with presentations from Commissioner Liberty of the Department of Corrections and the Veterans Treatment Court. A powerful panel on collaboration and problem-solving rounded out the day.

Fedcap Veterans, along with friends and family, spent time reconnecting, relaxing, and recharging at Great Pond Outdoor Adventure Center in Maine. Laughter around the campfire, peaceful paddles on the lake, and meaningful conversations made this "expedition" one to remember.

These moments remind us that stepping away to breathe, reflect, and bond is just as important as the work we do every day.

A huge thank-you to Erik's Church for hosting the after-party for the WLOB Radiothon supporting Maine's veterans. The turnout was incredible, the energy was high, and the sense of patriotism filled the air.

From the live music to the warm community, it was the perfect way to wrap up a day dedicated to supporting Maine veterans. We’re grateful for your partnership and for providing a space where people could come together in support of a cause that matters.

“Events like this remind us that Maine stands behind its veterans. The support we felt in that room was powerful, and it makes a real difference.”
— Brian Cummings, Director of Veterans Services, Fedcap Veterans
