About

We started this because we were pissed off.

Not pissed off in a “somebody stole my parking spot” kind of way. Pissed off in a “the people I served with are getting lied to, used, and forgotten” kind of way.

Liberty Shield Network is a group of veterans and military brats who got tired of watching the people we love most get jerked around. We watched brothers and sisters come home from deployments only to get buried under bad information, scam “veteran charities,” and a culture that treats them like props instead of people. We saw foreign adversaries and bad-faith actors deliberately targeting our community with disinformation — because they know if they can break the trust of those who served, they can break the country.

So we did what any good unit does when the mission is clear: we got to work.

What we actually do

We give you real resources. Not some glossy pamphlet you got at a job fair. We dig into the programs, services, and opportunities that actually make a difference — and we put them where you can find them. If it’s out there and it’s worth your time, we’ll help you get to it. If it’s garbage, we’ll tell you that too.

We fight disinformation. There are people out there — some foreign, some homegrown — who want you confused, angry, and divided. They want you sharing fake stories, falling for rage-bait, and losing faith in the people and institutions you once swore to protect. We teach you how to spot that stuff, call it out, and shut it down. Think of it as intel training for your news feed.

We show up. This isn’t a side hustle or a vanity project. We’re here because we believe the military community is this country’s backbone — and right now, that backbone is under attack. We take that personally.

Why “Liberty Shield”?

Because that’s what this is. The values that make America worth fighting for — liberty, truth, service — those don’t defend themselves. Somebody has to stand in front of them. That’s what a shield does. And frankly, who better than the people who already raised their right hand once?

Ready for a new mission?

Look, we’re not going to sugarcoat it. The information war is real, it’s happening right now, and our community is ground zero. But here’s the good news: you already know how to fight. You just need the right intel and the right people beside you.

That’s us. That’s this.

Liberty Shield Network is a project of Military Veterans in Journalism. We’re nonpartisan, veteran-led, and completely focused on one thing: making sure the people who served this country don’t get played by the people trying to tear it apart.

Welcome to the fight.
