Toni Hedstrom, founder and visionary behind FireWatch Magazine, recognized the importance of the ‘veteran story’ as she met with and worked alongside hundreds within the veteran community through her non-profit organization, Veteran Adventure Network. Toni has spent her life in and around the veteran community as a daughter, spouse, and business owner serving veterans. It was clear, there was a void in the sharing of the veteran experience. Veterans have something to say and a story to tell. Through FireWatch Magazine a commitment has been made to provide helpful, relevant, and inspiring stories from within the veteran community.
