Our Impact
SSVE - Founders
Vanessa Harvey
Anthony Harvey
​
A Life of Service, A Legacy of Strength
For 26 years, Anthony devoted his life to serving his country with unwavering dedication and courage. A proud Army veteran, he faced the frontlines in both Iraq and Afghanistan, standing tall through the chaos, the sacrifice, and the silence that followed. Now, as a disabled veteran, Anthony continues to carry the weight of war—not on a battlefield, but in everyday life, where invisible wounds often hurt the most.
Through it all, by his side stood his wife, Vanessa Harvey. More than just a partner in life, she became his rock, his advocate, and his voice when his own felt unheard. She witnessed firsthand the struggles Anthony endured—not only the physical pain but the emotional battles and the exhausting maze of navigating the VA system.
But where others might have turned away in frustration, Vanessa found her purpose. Inspired by Anthony’s resilience and fueled by love, she made it her mission to give back—not just to him, but to other veterans and their families who walk a similar path. She stepped up to help them overcome the difficult situations and disabilities that too often go unspoken.
Together, they’ve built a legacy—not just of service, but of strength, love, and hope. With their five beautiful children and three grandchildren, Anthony and Vanessa Harvey are not just a military family. They are a symbol of what it means to endure, to love, and to never stop fighting for what’s right.
