The 850 Dispatch Launches

March 25, 2026  |  By Shawn Cosner

Our editorial platform is live — original commentary, veteran news, and the Correspondents program.

The 850 Dispatch is our editorial platform delivering primary source veteran news, original commentary, and a space for veteran voices. Intelligence for those who served and those who serve them.

The Dispatch features three content streams: Commentary (founder editorials), Veteran News (VA announcements, CAVC decisions, policy changes), and Correspondents (veteran-written pieces with bylines). We’re also accepting applications for the Dispatch Correspondent program — veterans who want to write for publication under their own byline.
