Built and run by a veteran. For veterans.

I served twenty-two years in the British Army. That career took me across Northern Ireland during The Troubles, peacekeeping in the former Yugoslavia, and operational tours in Afghanistan and Iraq - alongside postings, exercises and deployments in places most people outside the military will never see. I'm proud to have served in operational theatre alongside colleagues from the United States, Australia and across the Commonwealth - the bond forged between allied forces on operations is something only those who've worn the uniform truly understand.

When I finally stood down, what struck me most was how easily the detail of a long career can fade. Twenty-two years on a CV becomes a couple of lines. A lifetime of moves and missions gets forgotten - by the public, by employers, sometimes even by close family who only ever saw fragments of where you'd been.

I built Veteran Waypoints because that record deserves better. A service record isn't a list of dates. It's a story - drawn across continents, written in the place names and unit badges of an entire working life. Told properly, it's the kind of story that brings a family closer, that earns a quiet nod from a grandchild, that helps a veteran themselves crystallize what they actually did.

That's what every Veteran Waypoints journey is meant to do: dynamic, cinematic, ever-lasting. A perfect gift for the veteran in your life - a way to tell your own story, in your own words, on your own terms - or a lasting tribute that crystallizes the service of a veteran no longer with us, so that what they did, and where they did it, is never forgotten.
