Hello and welcome to the latest edition of Veterans Post Promotion, hosted by me (@socent)! I curate these posts every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to showcase the talent of the veteran community here on Steemit and we are all so grateful for the continued support and the wonderful new friends that we are making along the way! If you are a military veteran, no matter the branch or country served, feel free to leave a comment on THIS post and someone will get to you shortly. https://s15.postimg.cc/4kr4q6fyj/Screen_Shot_2018-07-17_at_2.22.42_PM.png Photo from Original Post [Peanut Butter Zucchini Bundt Cake](https://steemit.com/food/@roger5120/peanut-butter-zucchini-bundt-cake) by @roger5120 Another yummy recipe with a beautiful presentation from one of my favorite chefs! I’ve never had peanut butter in zucchini cake before so this might be an interesting twist. ![divider-1024.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb9i2KiKpKHoj63jj482Z2HpRPSbx1UyAPXrRGYxXzhEj/divider-1024.png) https://s15.postimg.cc/62h6ezpd7/Screen_Shot_2018-07-17_at_2.28.05_PM.png Photo from Original Post [The "lost bicycle" art series and the search for a road to recovery](https://steemit.com/art/@corpsvalues/the-lost-bicycle-art-series-and-the-search-for-a-road-to-recovery) by @corpsvalues An honest look at returning home from deployment with PTSD and a brain injury and then trying to reintegrate into a society that doesn’t understand either of these things. I really do love the frank tone of these posts and the hidden vulnerability behind them. ![divider-1024.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb9i2KiKpKHoj63jj482Z2HpRPSbx1UyAPXrRGYxXzhEj/divider-1024.png) https://s15.postimg.cc/5qzq293sb/Screen_Shot_2018-07-17_at_2.32.58_PM.png Photo from Original Post [Built a shelf for my Field Guides](https://steemit.com/homesteading/@flemingfarm/built-a-shelf-for-my-field-guides) by @flemingfarm Coming up with creative solutions to storage solutions on the homestead and then following through by implementing the idea is showcased in this post. ![divider-1024.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb9i2KiKpKHoj63jj482Z2HpRPSbx1UyAPXrRGYxXzhEj/divider-1024.png) https://s15.postimg.cc/hhdnjp1qj/Screen_Shot_2018-07-17_at_2.38.14_PM.png Photo from Original Post [The VETERAN Smart Token on the Metaverse Blockchain](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@rakkasan84/the-veteran-smart-token-on-the-metaverse-blockchain) by @rakkasan84 There are many changes coming to the Veteran community and this is one of the biggest ones!

Part Five!](https://steemit.com/life/@basicstoliving/you-want-to-homestead-part-five) by @basicstoliving Really good information here if you are looking to homestead and plan to have water available for your family. I grew up on a farm with a well so we ran across similar challenges to what is discussed here when the pump needed to be replaced. Good info! ![divider-1024.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb9i2KiKpKHoj63jj482Z2HpRPSbx1UyAPXrRGYxXzhEj/divider-1024.png) Thank you for reading these awesome posts and showing so much love to my friends since we first started this initiative. And a special shout out to @jackmiller for creating the UMV bot and for being a very active Steemit witness.
