About VOC
Uplifting veterans. Rallying a community.
Our story
Meet Daniel
Daniel Chism, our fearless leader and founder, started Veterans Operation Creation in 2018 with a vision to bring veterans together through creativity, purpose, and community.
Today VOC is a hands-on volunteer group — showing up in classrooms, on parade routes, at the fairgrounds and the museum lawn — so that every veteran in our valley knows their community stands behind them.
