Vigilant Valkyrie was created with the sole purpose to honor, recognize, support and provide resources for our Female Service Members and Female Veterans. That purpose, mission and vision still greatly exists. However, the founder, Smiles, has had to take a significant step back from running Vigilant Valkyrie Charity for several different personal reasons. In addition, the majority of the volunteer staff has PCS’d or been deployed, prohibiting their ability for the needed involvement and focus this organization requires to be successful. At this time, Vigilant Valkyrie is no longer hosting any events or meet ups, our store has been temporarily shutdown and our website will not be regularly updated. This is with the intention of this being a temporary stand down, however, we have no timeline of what the “temporary” in this case will look like. Our Facebook and Instagram accounts are still active and posts are shared, though not a regular basis. Smiles has not lost the passion and desire to support the Female Veteran community. If anything, that passion burns brighter. However, in order for Smiles to provide the focus and attention and investment that this organization deserves, she must take the necessary time to focus on her personal life and family. Vigilant Valkyrie thanks you for your continued support and understanding.
