Cape Fear Veterans & Allies (CFVA) was founded with a simple but powerful goal: to create a central hub for veterans, their families, allies, businesses, and organizations in the Cape Fear region. 
 

Josh and I believed that those who served deserve more than gratitude—they deserve a strong, connected community that supports their well-being and success.

 

Thanks to those who believed in that vision, we took meaningful first steps. Through conversations, we began to build something bold—a network where veterans could find belonging and connection beyond the uniform.

 

However, as with many community efforts, maintaining and growing CFVA requires time and energy that I can no longer dedicate at this moment. In July 2025, I began working for an international company, and the hours and demands are time-consuming. Along with the current climate, I am not in a space where I can give CFVA the time it needs. 

 

As a result, the CFVA website and community presence will officially close on December 1, 2025.

 

This is not necessarily goodbye forever. If, in the future, new members and leaders wish to carry this torch forward, I will be ready to pass CFVA into capable hands and continue its mission in whatever form best serves the community.

 

To everyone who stood by the mission, shared ideas, attended events, or believed in what we were trying to build—thank you. Your support mattered deeply.
