Semper Forward is proud to have sponsored the PTSD Veterans Scramble at Irish Waters Golf Club!

This year, just before the first tee, a cardinal landed in the pine tree beside the Semper Forward team. Our founder, Steve Janke, believed that showing up for veterans meant showing up in every space where they need support; on the course, in the community, and in the gaps that others overlook. He was proud to support this annual event!

To the organizers, the players, and everyone who made this tournament possible, thank you for continuing to fight for our veterans long after the uniform comes off. 🤍

Enjoy the pictures below of the 2025 team, and the 2026 team honoring Steve!

Emily Rocke and Sarah 🐾 were joined by Hannah Trost with Raymond Central Intralogistics Solutions at the Fort Hood MEGA Career Fair this week.

Events like these are at the heart of what we do, bridging the gap between service members, veterans, and military families and the employers who are committed to hiring them. Our career and transition coaching is completely free for those who've served and their families, and our network of Veteran Ready employers is growing.
