GoVA

⚠️ "Financial literacy literally can prevent scams." — Dr. Eric Elbogen, VA Expert

And veterans are one of the most targeted groups in the country.

Scammers know that military members and veterans often have steady income, strong credit, and a trusting nature built from years of serving alongside others. That makes our community a prime target — and the damage can be devastating.

That's why GoVA has made scam and identity theft education a priority on The Edge. Your free membership includes access to courses and resources covering:

🛡️ Identity theft protection
🚨 How to spot and avoid common scams
💡 Financial literacy tools that keep you informed and protected

Knowledge is your best defense. And with The Edge, it's completely free.

Don't let a scammer undo what you've worked so hard to build. 💙

Sunflower Bank just published a beautiful feature about their partnership with GoVA Foundation — and it includes a quote that stops us every time we read it:

"Overnight I lost ¾ of my income, but the GoVA Foundation helped me get my edge back... the Foundation and I were able to dig my family out of our foxhole and now we have the freedom to live without being limited by money."
— Ragnar M., Army Veteran and Edge member

That's exactly why we do this work. 🙏

Sunflower Bank is proud to sponsor free financial education for military families in California — and together, we're making a real difference. Read their full feature story at the link below, and if you or someone you know could benefit from The Edge, registration is always free.

Today, we remember.

Memorial Day is not just the start of summer. It is a sacred day set aside to honor the men and women who gave everything in service to this nation. Their courage, their sacrifice, and their love of country live on in each of us.

At GoVA, we are humbled every single day to serve a community that knows the true cost of freedom. Today, we pause our work to simply say:

We remember. We honor. We are forever grateful. 🙏

To the Gold Star Families carrying the weight of an immeasurable loss — our hearts are with you today and always. 💙

⚠️ This statistic stopped us in our tracks — and it should stop you too.

During a recent webinar with GoVA and the FTC, Dr. Elbogen of the VA shared something every military family needs to hear:

"Veterans who had mental health problems or brain injuries were twice as likely to be a victim of a scam."

May is both Military Appreciation Month and Mental Health Awareness Month — and this is exactly why the two are so deeply connected. The military and veteran community is actively targeted by scammers and identity thieves. That's not an accident. It's a pattern the VA's own research has documented.

Financial education is one of the most powerful tools we have to fight back. That's why GoVA provides free financial wellness resources to military members, veterans, and military spouses — including tools to help protect against fraud, scams, and identity theft.

Protecting our community means protecting the whole person. 💙
