VetComm Invests in a Worthy Endeavor: Veteran Owned Businesses and Non Profits

CEO Kate Monroe’s New Mission: Supporting other veterans that help their communities.

At VETCOMM, our mission has always been to empower veterans by helping them receive the VA disability benefits they’re owed after service. While our core focus is on assisting veterans with these benefits, our commitment extends far beyond that. We believe that true support means fostering a strong and connected community where veterans can find purpose, camaraderie and new opportunities.

Veterans face unique challenges, from mental health struggles to physical disabilities and the transition to civilian life. While government programs and traditional support networks play a role, grassroots organizations and veteran-led initiatives often make the most direct and personal impact. These initiatives create safe spaces for veterans to heal, grow and redefine their futures, whether through mentorship, adaptive sports or entrepreneurial endeavors.

This is why VETCOMM actively supports veterans beyond our normal scope. We believe in backing initiatives that uplift and inspire, connecting veterans to opportunities that help them thrive. Here are just a few of the incredible organizations and people we’re proud to support.

Warriors of the Wind

Warriors of the Wind Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Lemoore, California, dedicated to supporting veterans facing mental health challenges. Founded by Marine veteran Dallas Poore, the foundation focuses on fostering connections among veterans to promote healing and camaraderie.

The foundation engages in various initiatives, including organizing events at senior living facilities, participating in graffiti removal projects, and collaborating with veteran motorcycle associations for fundraising rides. Through these activities, Warriors of the Wind aims to create a supportive community where veterans can find purpose and support.

Big Country

Brian “Big Country” Conwell is a disabled veteran who lost his legs on Jan. 7, 2014, at Fort Riley, Kansas. Despite doctors’ predictions that he would never walk again, Conwell taught himself to walk in October 2020 and returned to the gym by February 2021. His journey through severe depression, anxiety, PTSD and chronic pain showcases his resilience and determination.

Embracing adaptive sports, Conwell competed in the 2021 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, excelling in shot put, discus and powerlifting. In 2022, he earned four gold medals — one internationally — three silver and three bronze medals. Aiming to join Team USA for the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles, Conwell founded Big Country Athletics, an LLC dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities to engage in fitness and adaptive sports. His mission is to help others recognize their disabilities as unique strengths.

“Helping veterans get the benefits they’re owed is just the start. What really matters is building a community where they can heal, connect and find new purpose,” says VETCOMM CEO Kate Monroe. “VETCOMM is all about backing the incredible initiatives led by veterans. When veterans lift each other up, amazing things happen. That’s the kind of support that makes a difference.”

As VETCOMM continues to stand behind these causes, our dedication to uplifting the veteran community remains clear — ensuring that those who have served receive the support, recognition and opportunities they deserve.

Need help with your disability rating or filing your first claim? VETCOMM can help! Find out more at www.vetcomm.us

    VETCOMM offers a Money-Back Guarantee for veterans who follow the full process as outlined. When you sign up, you agree to allow us two attempts to help you secure at least a 10% VA rating. To remain eligible for a refund, you must attend all scheduled appointments with our team and complete your VA-requested C&P exams.

    If your first VETCOMM-assisted claim results in a total VA rating increase of 10% or more, the goal of the course has been achieved and the guarantee is fulfilled. No refund is issued.

    If your first claim does not lead to a 10% total increase, VETCOMM will assist you in filing a second claim.
    If the second claim results in a 10% or greater increase, the goal has been achieved and the guarantee is fulfilled.

    If your second claim also does not result in a 10% total increase, you have two options:

    1. Request a full refund

    2. Proceed with a third filing and waive your right to a refund

    Filing a third claim fulfills the guarantee obligation, regardless of outcome. Many veterans require multiple filings due to documentation challenges or individual circumstances that affect how the VA awards ratings. While we assist in the process, approval decisions are made solely by the VA.

    There are a few situations where the Guarantee Refund Policy does not apply:

    • Veterans with a 90% Total Disability Rating:
      Due to how the VA calculates ratings, increasing from 90% to 100% is very difficult. VETCOMM will still assist with up to three (3) VETCOMM-assisted claims, but no refund will be issued if a 10% total increase is not awarded.

    • Veterans with an Other Than Honorable (OTH) Discharge:
      Veterans with an OTH discharge can still file claims with VETCOMM. However, because of additional VA restrictions, we will assist with up to two (2) VETCOMM-assisted claims, and no refund will be issued if a 10% total increase is not awarded.
