Frequently Asked Questions

For Your Service is a nationwide movement to support one veteran in every U.S. state. Over the course of the campaign, Samuel Weidenhofer will spotlight 50 veterans and rally communities across the country to show gratitude through financial support and meaningful recognition. This is designed to be more than a moment. It’s a movement powered by storytelling, generosity, and community action.

We are selecting 50 veterans, one from each state.

  • Each veteran will have a dedicated GoFundMe fundraiser.
  • Stories will be shared here on the Community page and across social channels.
  • You can support by donating, sharing, and helping amplify each story.

The Community page acts as the central hub where you can track every veteran, see updates, and follow the journey as it unfolds.

The community campaign begins in mid-March, with the full 50 day activation running May 1 through June 20, 2026.

Stories and updates will roll out continuously during that period, with new veterans highlighted along the way.

Veterans may be nominated by the community or sourced by our team. Every nomination is reviewed to ensure the story is real, respectful, and aligned with the heart of the campaign. Selection prioritizes:

  • Authentic, compelling stories
  • Diversity across age, background, and lived experience
  • Veterans who feel comfortable sharing their story publicly

Our goal is to represent a wide range of experiences across all 50 states.

Yes. During the nomination period, you will be able to submit veterans you believe deserve support. We encourage you to nominate individuals who:

  • Have served honorably
  • Are facing financial hardship or transition challenges
  • Are comfortable sharing their story publicly

Details on how to nominate will be shared here on the Community page.

You can support in three ways:

  • Donate to a veteran’s fundraiser
  • Share their story with your network
  • Engage in the Community by commenting and uplifting their journey

Generosity is powerful, but amplification is just as impactful.

No. While donations directly support veterans, sharing stories, leaving encouraging messages, and helping spread awareness are equally valuable ways to participate. This is a collective effort.

This Community page is the central hub for the campaign. Instead of constantly updating one main link, all 50 veterans will be profiled here in one place. It allows you to:

  • Follow the journey state by state
  • Comment and engage in conversation
  • Track impact in real time
  • Access every fundraiser easily

Sam will personally film and visit 30 states as he commits to raising the profile of as many veterans in need as possible. Since Sam is logistically unable to travel all 50 states he has invited friends—kindness influencers, compassionate celebrities and notable online individuals who support the cause—to visit 20 of the states on his behalf. Sam himself will appear in all 50 videos.

No. This campaign is not about comparing who is “more deserving.” Every selected veteran has an equally powerful story. The goal is collective gratitude and nationwide impact, not competition.

All donations go directly to the individual veteran’s GoFundMe fundraiser. Each fundraiser has its own page where you can see updates, progress, and messages of support.

We will spotlight veterans regularly throughout the 50 day campaign. You can expect:

  • Video moments
  • Personal backstories
  • Community updates
  • Social amplification
  • Press and media features in select states

Yes. We welcome opportunities that help elevate veterans’ stories respectfully and responsibly.

If you are part of a media outlet, please use this resource to get in touch with the team: https://www.gofundme.com/c/newsroom

If you are part of a local organization or brand interested in supporting the campaign, please email: mark@thethankyouagency.com

The impact does not end on Day 50. The goal is to build a lasting movement that continues to:

  • Support veterans
  • Celebrate service
  • Activate generosity across states

This is about long term gratitude, not a single campaign window.

    I'm honored to announce For Your Service; a 50-day mission to show up for 1 veteran in every state across America. On May 1st, I'll be on the road to meet, film, and raise money for 50 veterans. One story at a time. One state at a time. I've spent years watching ordinary people do extraordinary things for each other. And yet, the people who gave up everything to serve this country are often left behind once they come home. Medical bills, housing crises, small businesses on the brink. These are someone's dad, someone's mom, someone's best friend. My job is to amplify their stories. Your job? To help make sure each one feels the weight of an entire country behind them. This community page is home base. Every fundraiser, every update, every milestone, you'll get it here first. We have 50 states to cover. Let's get to work. 🇺🇸 🌍
