DENVER — A Colorado magazine is hoping to connect the veteran community while showcasing nonprofits that offer resources to those who served.
Veterans Life Magazine is printed every other month, with the first edition debuting this past February.
“There are veteran magazines that talk about a salute to service and a great legacy and something they did, but nothing connecting the nonprofits and the entrepreneurs that are with the veteran community, people that start-up businesses. There’s so much about that,” said James Daigle, creative director of Veterans Life Magazine.
The inspiration behind the magazine came from a photoshoot Daigle did with a veteran.
“I didn’t like the way I saw veterans being photographed. I thought they just didn’t show their glory and what they stood for. So that started the process,” he said.
