My name is Marnie Mowles and I’m with The Veterans’ Voice of Montana monthly newspaper with state wide coverage. Take advantage of this excellent opportunity to reach the Montana market of both active-duty and mostly retired military of all ages and their dependents. We offer full color (at no extra cost), display, insert and classified advertising at open and contract rates. You will also have a free listening on our web site.
Our current circulation is 10,000 papers monthly with readership of at least 40,000 veterans including family, friends and loyal supporters. Our distribution is to paid subscribers with the balance mailed to hundreds of veteran organizations, hospitals, clinics and every senior citizens center across Montana.

Ø Nationally, only 17% of all veterans are enrolled in the VA system. There are 25 million veterans in the United States yet less than 5 million veterans received benefits last year.
Ø Within the Veterans community we are the news media vets trust.
Our writers include a retired-VA rating specialist, doctors, lawyers, congressmen, generals, majors, recording artist Charlie Daniels, many other writers and of course little old me. All of whom willingly give their time to help our veterans.
Our purpose is to keep vets informed of their benefits and effective ways to work with the VA. We also cover health care topics, aging, PTSD news for both the veteran and their families. Our “Got Questions? Get Answers…” section, is where our writers answer VA service questions from our readers. Of course we have war hero stories, some funny stuff, advertising and current information on a variety of topics for veterans.
We are not affiliated with government so we are not censored and boring like other military publications which are government controlled. We do our best not to be political, we keep vets informed of their rights and benefits and how to get them. That’s why veterans read our paper cover to cover.
