For service members, veterans and military families, navigating benefits, trusted services and available opportunities can often feel fragmented. Programs exist across government agencies, nonprofit organizations and private companies, but they are not always easy to locate—or verify.
Military Connect was created to simplify that experience by bringing these opportunities together in a unified digital ecosystem designed specifically for the military community.
At its core, Military Connect serves as a centralized platform where verified members of the U.S. Armed Forces, veterans and their families can access meaningful benefits, resources and exclusive programs from trusted brands and organizations. The goal is to create a single destination where the military community can confidently find support, savings and services that recognize their service.
Connecting Benefits
The platform includes a growing network of specialized programs designed to address everyday needs. Through offerings such as Military Deals, Military Travelers, Military Autos, Military Coverage and MilitaryRx, users can access opportunities spanning travel, retail, insurance, financial services and health-related savings.
By verifying users’ military affiliation, Military Connect ensures that benefits are delivered directly to the community they are intended to serve.
The platform also helps simplify access to government and veteran support programs. Users can explore resources connected to agencies such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as federal, state and nonprofit services that support the veteran community.
By combining these resources with commercial partnerships and lifestyle benefits, Military Connect aims to support members of the military community throughout every stage of life—from active duty through the transition to civilian life and beyond.
The Vision

Military Connect was founded by Kevin T. K. Sullivan, a retired Army lieutenant colonel whose career spans both military leadership and business development.
Sullivan served 20 years in the Army as an aviation officer and UH-60 Black Hawk pilot, leading assault aviation units around the world before concluding his military career as Director of Aviation for U.S. Army Pacific Command.
Following his military service, Sullivan founded Leading Points Corporation, a strategic development firm that helps major companies engage military and government markets. Under his leadership, the company launched several military-focused initiatives with well-known brands, including GolfNow, Vail Resorts, Costco, LifeLock and Williams-Sonoma.
Through that work, Sullivan observed a recurring challenge: programs and benefits for the military community existed across many organizations, but there was no single trusted gateway bringing them together. Military Connect was created to help close that gap.
Leadership Commitment
Helping guide the initiative is Dan Swiniarski, a business executive and veteran advocate with more than 25 years of experience in growth strategy and organizational leadership.
Swiniarski previously served as a CH-53 helicopter crew chief in the Marine Corps, an experience that continues to influence his leadership philosophy.
Throughout his professional career, he has managed large profit-and-loss operations, negotiated major enterprise agreements and built high-performing teams that consistently deliver results.
Beyond the corporate world, Swiniarski remains deeply committed to supporting fellow veterans. He actively works with Fairways for Warriors, an organization that uses golf as a therapeutic tool to help combat veterans reconnect, build peer networks and strengthen their support systems.
Looking Ahead
As the platform expands, Military Connect continues to introduce innovations designed to strengthen engagement within the military community.
One example is VetBucks, a loyalty currency that rewards verified members for participating across the Military Connect ecosystem and engaging with partner programs and brands.
By bringing together verified benefits, trusted partnerships and essential resources in one digital destination, Military Connect is working to create a unified hub for the military community—supporting service members, veterans and their families throughout every stage of military life.
