🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage, selflessness, and devotion to protecting others will never be forgotten.
At FMPNavigtor, we remember those who gave everything and we stand beside the veterans, families, and survivors who carry their legacy forward every day.

This Memorial Day, take a moment to reflect, remember, and reach out to those who may be struggling. No veteran should ever feel alone.

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” 🇺🇸

I’m a retired grunt. I work outside the VA (no not for money). If you’re a DAV OCONUS and have need or know someone in need we are on Cycle B. For Cycle B $750 for the one that has the most need will be granted. Read the post, it’s all there.

God bless you.

I'm happy to announce that on fmpnavigator.org/grants that the first annual Ed & Nancy Chestnut's Memorial Veterans Fund is live! We are currently accepting submissions for CYCLE B. Cycle B is designed to act as a grant for any disabled veteran abroad undergoing crisis or having a hard time covering medical/living expenses. The submission criteria is simple, provide a narrative essay of what your hardship is along with the rest of the information on the form submission on the website and your submission will reach us via our mail inbox. If you cannot get the submission box to work please email [email protected] to report the issue and then submit your grant request through [email protected]. I'm a little behind the gun, this was supposed to be announced prior to May 1st and that's on me but the window is open all the way to September.

Proof of service will be required, whether it be a sterilized DD214, a VA letter listing you as a disabled veteran etc will suffice. At the end of the the application period myself and a small group of veterans and non-veterans will be processing these submissions and a round of three to decide who is in the most need. The grant is $750USD, and as it is a grant it is not something you will ever need to pay back. It is free money to honor the legacy of my Grandfather and Grandmother and their story which is full of grit, hardship and just general tough times, all the while maintaining pride in my military service.

SO! Go, get on fmpnavigator.org/grants and submit your story for an easy $750USD grant that we pray will assist you in your demonstrated hardship.

One caveat, if you are indeed the recipient of the grant I have one request, that you take a silly photo and send it to us so that we may post it I honor of my Grandfather, who was quite the silly man himself. Full of sarcasm and an inexhaustible sense of humor he could often be found pestering my grandma wearing silly hats or even a ridiculous eagle mascot headpiece.

Spread this message far and wide because it is for ALL disabled veterans abroad.

God bless you all and best of luck!

The first mask of Brain Injury Awareness Month depicts the effects of a traumatic brain injury, but lists the values of the Warrior Ethos, which keep him going: "Never Quit," "Mission First," "Never Accept Defeat," and "Never Leave a Fallen Comrade." https://www.fallenheroesfund.org/masks?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Organic+Social

Working out the bugs today in the PDF form filler for the VAFMP Registration and Claims Cover Sheet. The finish line is in sight for the FMP Navigator mobile application! Here’s a short clip to demonstrate the current working state, you’ll notice the generated .pdf file fields are a bit off. That’s what I’m fine tuning right now.

Howdy folks, I do apologize for the lack of progress or activity on this page. I've been offline for a while due to a series of cervical spine issues that led to waking up with arm, wrist and finger paralysis rendering me unable to utilize my dominant arm and hand for some time now.

Thank you to all those who have reached out in concern, especially to Joseph BigGun Blasetti and PJ and his wife from the VFW.

Thanks to the VAFMP, Dr. Kannit and the wonderful physio team at โรงพยโรงพยาบาลสมิติเวชศรีนครินทร์ ( Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital )ve regained enough function to move my arm and hand freely and I'll be slowly moving back into work on this project.

The next thing I'll be doing is publishing the grants page on the FMPNAV website where you will be able to apply for the "Ed & Nancy Chestnut Veterans Memorial Grant".

I still have numbness, tingling, pain and weakness in my hand and wrist and I fatigue out but I will see this project move forward.

God bless you all and cherish your health while you have it.
