I am, U.S. Army Major (Ret.) Eric K. King, a native of Marianna, Arkansas - a Patriot who wanted to serve our country for my children and even more after the 911 attack, I wanted to deploy and fight for the American people – which I served for 16 years.
 
My deployments included three combat tours – two to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. My combat deployments were in 04-05, 07-09, and 14-15. And one Humanitarian Assistant deployment to W. Africa, Liberia for the fight against the Ebola crisis in 15-16. I knew my life had changed after I survived several Improvised Explosive Devices attacks, ambushes and gunfights while watching other soldiers lose their life or be critically wounded.
 
I personally suffer with many disabilities. I received many commendations, including the Iraq Campaign Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Bronze Star Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, Meritorious Service Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters the Combat Infantryman’s Badge and many more commendation medals and badges.
 
I medically retired in 2016.  I’m forever focusing on getting healthy while giving back and helping Veterans to reclaim their lives. I am a spokesperson and motivational speaker sharing my story and experiences with an emphasis to helping Veterans and Service Members like himself who are fighting for a better tomorrow.

I have created the VetsWhatsNext® Nonprofit Corporation to Empower Disabled Veterans, Service Members & their families by providing services, benefits, resources, job, and more that will help them to reclaim their lives and their economic stability via our Disruptive Innovation Ecosystem mobile application and virtual website. The VetsWhatsNext mobile app is the Amazon platform for all things Veteran. As a Combat Wounded and, (now) Disabled Veteran, I understand their plight. VetsWhatsNext is changing lives while saving the lives of many.
