New Episode | Strategy Unlocked

Many families of Vietnam veterans are unaware that they may qualify for a tax-free monthly benefit of $1,700+ through the VA.

In this episode of Strategy Unlocked, we highlight an important but often overlooked program that supports spouses of Vietnam veterans, particularly those impacted by service-related conditions tied to Agent Orange exposure.

This benefit can provide meaningful financial support to families who sacrificed alongside the veteran but may not realize assistance is available.

Key points discussed in the video:

• Why many Vietnam veteran spouses may qualify for this benefit
• How the benefit works and why it is tax-free
• Why awareness of VA programs is critical for veteran families
• How spouses can begin learning about eligibility

Many veterans and their families earned these benefits through service, but thousands never apply simply because they do not know they exist.

Our goal with Strategy Unlocked is simple — bring forward information, leadership insight, and resources that help veterans and their families thrive.

Most people never hear about this benefit… and many who qualify nev...

A note from the publisher's desk

I sat down tonight with my favorite paper to catch up on the economy and the world, and the mood on the markets page was unmistakable: panic. Rate hike, sharp swings, red across the board. My first thought was, "Something's broken."

Then I pulled up my own investments. Ouch.

But here's the thing about days like this. Markets have had rough nights before, and every one of them looked like the end of the world at 9 p.m. and like a buying opportunity a year later. I'm not saying rush in. I'm saying stay cautiously optimistic, keep a long view, and don't let a headline make your decisions for you.

And if the market news isn't your thing, there's plenty more in the paper. Veteran stories. Local and national events. Founders building something real. That's the point of a paper like this. You get to choose what informs you.

That's why I'm proud of Valor & Ventures Media. It's a place where veterans, patriots, and entrepreneurs can get their news, and a reminder that free speech and a free press are alive and well in 2026.

Veterans: Stop Leaving Your Benefits Unclaimed

Too many veterans have earned benefits they never fully use.

In this conversation, we discuss an issue that affects thousands of veterans and their families across the country: unclaimed benefits that were earned through service but never accessed.

For many veterans, navigating programs, paperwork, and eligibility requirements can be confusing. As a result, benefits designed to support healthcare, education, financial stability, and family wellbeing often go unused.

This video highlights:

• Why many veterans unintentionally leave benefits on the table
• The impact this has not only on veterans but also on their families
• Why awareness and education are critical within the veteran community
• How conversations like this help veterans access the resources they earned through service

If you served — or know someone who did — this conversation is worth watching.

At the Veteran Coaching Network, we believe leadership includes helping veterans access the resources, networks, and support systems that allow them to thrive after service.
