Sebby, in partnership with Veterans Growing America (VGA), founded by Army Veteran Donnell Johns Sr., is proud to announce the weekly distribution of free print-on-demand book vouchers made possible by a grant from the Virginia Department of Veterans Services (VDVS).

"Too many Veteran stories go untold," said Alex Sebby, Founder of Words of Veterans. "With support from the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, we're providing the tools and funding to help Veterans capture their legacy-not just for themselves, but for their families and the broader community."

Here's how it works:

• Eligibility: U.S. Veterans and immediate family members residing in Virginia.

Voucher Value: Redeemable for one full-color, 6″ × 9″ hardcover Words of Veterans print-on-demand book (up to 350 pages), printed and shipped free within the USA.

The Virginia Department of Veterans Services grant showcases the Commonwealth's dedication to Veteran legacy preservation and post-service recognition.
