#VeteranOfTheDay Keith Streicher

Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Army Veteran Keith Streicher. Keith served in the United States Army from 2008 to 2011.

When Keith enlisted in 2008, he served first as a unit supply logistics specialist and then a senior logistician in Iraq at Camp Mejid during Operation New Dawn. He was also stationed at Camp Stanley in South Korea and Fort Stewart in Georgia.

After he left the service in 2011, Keith began working as a Veteran’s advocate. He has been dedicated to public service through his work in the White House, on Capitol Hill, and with large nonprofits and Veteran service organizations.

Keith is also the founder of the Veterans Leadership Coalition. He continues to serve both the Veteran community and active duty Servicemembers, as he consults with leaders and advocates in the veteran community. One of Keith’s goals is to advocate for his brothers and sisters in arms returning home and navigating life as combat Veterans.

Thank you for your service, Keith!
