The Green Beret Foundation (GBF) launched the Pineland Initiative on November 10, 2021. This new campaign focuses on expanding the Foundation’s scope of services to include pre-9/11 U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers and their families. The Pineland Initiative, which launched in 2022, reflects a 3-year phased approach to growth and expansion of existing programs and services to accommodate the needs of the pre-9/11 Green Beret population. One key aspect of this expansion is the welcoming of additional Veteran Service Officers (VSOs) onboard GBF staff to meet the anticipated greater need for assistance with the preparation and prosecution of Veterans Affairs benefits and disability claims. These new VSOs will bring with them the added benefit of providing a Foundation presence geographically located at each of the five Active Duty Special Forces Groups, and two National Guard Special Forces Groups, located around the country. The name “Pineland” pays tribute to the shared legacy of Green Berets, past and present. This initiative is well-timed, as the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Army Special Forces will be commemorated this coming June 19th. With Pineland being the first initiative in GBF’s history to support Green Berets of all generations, there’s an opportunity to honor those that laid the groundwork to make the Green Berets the world’s premier, elite special operations force. The GBF is asking that those wishing to support the Pineland Initiative campaign consider making a commitment of support to the Foundation at the amount of just a $12 monthly recurring contribution. #greenberet #specialforces #militaryfamilies #veteransupport #Pineland #greenberetfoundation

Unidentified Soldiers Of The 33rd United States Colored Troops The 33rd was organized on January 31, 1863, or February 8, 1864, as 1st South Carolina Volunteers Colored Infantry. Attached to U. S. Forces, Port Royal Island, South Carolina, 10th Corps, Dept. of the South, to April, 1864. Mustered out January 31, 1866 "No officer in this regiment now doubts that the key to the successful prosecution of this war lies in the unlimited employment of black troops. Their superiority lies simply in the fact that they know the country, while white troops do not, and, moreover, that they have peculiarities of temperament, position, and motive which belong to them alone. Instead of leaving their homes and families to fight they are fighting for their homes and families, and they show the resolution and sagacity which a personal purpose gives. It would have been madness to attempt, with the bravest white troops, what I have successfully accomplished with the black ones. Everything, even to the piloting of the vessels and the selection of the proper points for cannonading, was done by my own soldiers." — Excerpt from February 1, 1863 report by Colonel T. W. Higginson, commander of the First Regiment South Carolina Volunteers (Union) after the January 23 - February 1, 1863 Expedition from Beaufort South Carolina, up the Saint Mary’s River in Georgia and Florida. Some people think these men were forced to go to war. But make no mistake: Many did it because they were brave, wanted to protect their families and country, and hoped to be respected for their actions. #memorialday2024 #blackhistory365 #blackhistoryisamericanhistory Credit: American Black History - Old Photos

I have been going through my military records today, and it got me thinking: What is your shoulder sleeve insignia for former wartime service and what does it mean to you? In case you do not know, the shoulder sleeve insignia for former wartime service, commonly known as the "combat patch," is a distinctive patch worn on the right sleeve of the uniform by US Army soldiers who have served in combat. It signifies the individual's participation in a designated wartime period or campaign.   The importance of the combat patch lies in several aspects: Recognition of Service, Unit Cohesion, Tradition and Honor, and Combat Identification.   A combat patch connects soldiers to the long history of the military and the sacrifices made by those who have served before them. It represents a sense of duty, valor, and pride in one's service.   Overall, the combat patch holds significant symbolic and practical importance within the military community, representing both individual service and collective sacrifice in defense of the nation.   My patch, you ask, is the Special Forces Patch awarded on 18 July 2007. #avgeek #military #aviationlovers #aviationdaily #aviationsafety #specialforces #helogirls #mentorshipmatters #militaryservice #veteran #combat

Understanding D-Day and Honoring Our Armed Forces: Ever wondered what the “D” in D-Day stands for? It’s a common question, and the answer is simpler than you might think: “D” stands for “Day.” It was a military code for the day an important operation began. For many of us, June 6, 1944, or D-Day, symbolizes a monumental moment when Allied forces, including a significant number of British troops, stormed the beaches of Normandy. This wasn’t just any day—it was a turning point in World War II, a day that changed the course of history and secured the freedoms we enjoy today. Remembering D-Day is about more than just reflecting on the past. It’s about honoring the courage and sacrifice of those who laid down their lives for the greater good. These were ordinary men and women who performed extraordinary feats under unimaginable conditions. They faced relentless challenges, but their determination and bravery paved the way for victory against tyranny. As we look back, it’s essential to not only remember those who served during that critical time but also to appreciate the members of our armed forces who continue to protect our nation today. Their commitment and dedication ensure that the legacy of courage and service lives on. These individuals are out there every day, making sure that our country remains safe and that our values are upheld. Let’s take a moment to honor both the heroes of the past and those who continue to serve. Our gratitude for their service and sacrifices cannot be overstated. They stand as a testament to the resilience and strength that define our armed forces. Here’s to the past, present, and future defenders of our freedom. Your efforts and sacrifices are truly appreciated.❤️ #DDay #Remembrance #ArmedForces #Respect #Service #Gratitude #Veterans #Military #BritishForces

Blood and war are inextricably linked. The military has learned and relearned this lesson in every war over the past century. Read this article, recommended by the Chief of Staff of the Army, where Lt. Col. Max Ferguson writes about how combat casualty survival on the battlefield depends on a well-resourced and well-trained blood capability. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gsZhu85Z
