Hello All,

I am Blake Fuhriman. I served in the army prior to discharging in 2013. I struggled to find local resources, but more importantly to me, i struggled to find the comradery i had in my unit, back in the civilian world. Thats why i started VNN. We are local to Billings Montana, but provide resource navigation state wide. We also do regular vet connect events in Billings Montana, which just get vets together. Similar events happen across montana that are similar that we can connect you with as well. Lastly, we also do peer mentorship, which is really just other vets in the community who are successful being available to help you achieve your goals. If you are interested in any of these things, feel free to reach out to me or Mike, our program coordinator at [login to see] or by email at [login to see] .
