JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A thriving gaming group created by veterans aims to support active military members transition back to civilian life.
The group is called Regiment Gaming, and its CEO, Chris Earle, is a Marine Corps veteran.

He created Regiment Gaming five years ago to form a community to help active and retired military members struggle with difficulties and readjust to everyday life.
Earle’s goal is to remind veterans that they are never alone and there is a community for them to be a part of.
“They don’t know how to seek help, right? They feel ashamed to reach out for help, you know, they feel like if they admit that they need help, it makes them weak. That’s not the case,” Earle said.

Nationally, Regiment Gaming has had a big impact by building gaming rooms across VFWs and American Legion halls across the country.
With Memorial Day coming up Monday, active and veteran military members are invited to join online.
