The sense of purpose behind each project makes the work feel meaningful and impactful. Collaborating with passionate individuals who care deeply about service members and their families has been inspiring. Every video feels like a tribute to the resilience and strength of the military community. I’ve grown creatively while also gaining a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices made by military families. It’s A Military Life has not only enhanced my skills but also enriched my perspective. I’m grateful to contribute to such an important and heartfelt mission.

IML is an excellent organization built from the ground up to help military families and friends navigate the nuances of military life and beyond. The leadership team is driven by a selfless desire to provide what is needed to assist in countless ways. I fully support this organization and its commitment to veterans and families around the world.
I've been involved with the non-profit organization It's A Military Life for several months now. All of their programs are honestly terrific, but what I'd love to take a moment to highlight is their Veteran Pen Pal Project program. Getting mail from civilian and military-connected folks from all over the place has really provided some cheer-me-ups in the world, and I'm so happy to have found this organization and program. Definitely recommend. 5 out of 5 stars!
I connected with It's A Military Life when I first created my child care organization to collaborate on serving military families. This relationship has grown over the last few years and I am always confident that if support is needed in the military community, It's A Military Life will be there.
My family joined the Veteran Pen Pal Project branch of It’s a Military Life. We’ve really enjoyed our experience with this organization so far, and got matched with the perfect penpal who shares our same interests. Just taking the time to write a simple letter is such a small gesture that can really brighten someone’s day. This is such a great opportunity for people to give back and get to know the experiences of some of our Nation’s veterans.
I cannot say enough good things about It's a Military Life! Being a military spouse can be very challenging at time and It's a Military Life is such an amazing resource! I am honored to be part of their Veteran Pen Pal Program! They are doing such great work, hitting those small details that may seem insignificant to those outside of military life, but are actually incredibly meaningful!!!!!
I’ve been a part of the Veterans Pen Pal Project side of this organization for a little over a year now, and i’ve had a great time being a part of it! It’s now a small, neat part of my life to spread this project a little bit further around the world! Definitely recommend being a part of this project!
This is truly a 5-star organization! I've volunteered with their Career Cohort program for 2 years now. It provides a fantastic opportunity for members of military families to bridge the work/skills gap so they can confidently pursue a prosperous future! They have so many ways of helping military families at all phases of service! Thank you IML!
It's A Military Life helped my family when everything was falling apart. After my husband got out of the military it almost felt like we were cut out of the military world. That amazing support we once had was now gone. We thought that there weren't many organizations that supported Veterans and their families too. Then we found It's A Military Life. They have provided countless resources and information to help us land on our feet. Now, I'm a volunteer to help support other families! It's A Military Life really encompass Military Life...which is during and after service!
I have been volunteering for IML for over a year now & what we are doing is just amazing! I am part of the marketing team & we are working to share the stories of our amazing military community!

It's a Military Life is a valuable military family resource. Offering a variety of support and resources for families, IML goes above and beyond to assist with PCS, deployments, education, events and community. Highly Recommend!
I’ve been volunteering with IML for about six months. In that short time, I have gained social media experience, and learned and utilized different platforms and software to help accomplish goals in a timely manner. IML also provides a wonderful collaborative
environment where everyone’s opinions are valued. The people make all the difference, and everyone’s dedication and diverse experiences has provided wonderful opportunities for me to connect and make a difference. I am proud to be a part of it.
When you start volunteering with IML you really become part of a family. The program directors are encouraging and truly love the organization. I can't even begin to describe how dedicated the founder is! Christina loves IML and all of the programs, and she is always ready to hear input on how to grow and reshape the foundation to better serve the military community.
I have worked with this organization for close to five months now, and it has truly been a wonderful experience! Seeing how the Veteran Pen Pal Project helps lift the spirits of our nation’s heroes is something incredible — something I’m honored to be a part of.

It's A Military Life Corporation has been doing a tremendous job within the military community. They provide resources through their various outreach programs that is geared towards providing great opportunities and benefits for Milso and veterans. As a volunteer and a military spouse, I am thankful for the opportunity to do great things for this company and our community at large.
With in the year I have been with IMl , I have seen this non-profit grow so much. They have provided so many people and families with many resources.

As a volunteer, It's A Military Life has provided an amazing atmosphere that has allowed me to learn and grow. Participating in the Spring 2022 It's A Military Connection Cohort was a great experience and I plan to do it again in the future. The cohort material was wonderfully put together and there were an immense amount of internship opportunities available. It's A Military Life truly works hard to provide resources and opportunities for the military community that they serve.
I've had an amazing experience volunteering for It's a Military Life. It's been great to use my skills for a good cause. However, I can honestly say I have gained as much as I have contributed. This organization has opened up a whole new world to me, one that I'm passionate about. I love meeting incredibly talented people through my work and supporting the military community in such a wonderful and creative way. Thank you for welcoming me, teaching me, and allowing me to use this platform to connect with others.
As a veteran, I am impressed with this military associated non-profit organization and services. Would have been nice to have had this during my time of service, but, as a retiree, I can still participate and stay up-to-date on what is available to current/former military members
