VA, USMichael Bluemling, Jr. has overcome the abuse of his past to achieve a fulfilling life. After high school, he served in the United States Army, obtaining the rank of sergeant. He received the US Army Commendation Medal and two US Army Achievement Medals, the US Army Good Conduct Medal, the Kosovo Campaign Medal, and the NATO Medal. After an honorable discharge from the military, he held various positions in the US Department of Labor and at the Department of Veteran Affairs.

In addition, he graduated from the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV) program through Florida State University. The trauma of his past has led Michael to making a difference for others in the present.
He is the founder of Power of One, a disabled-veteran‒owned company based in Richmond, Virginia. Power of One is centered on meeting the needs of its customers by providing dynamic inspirational presentations that allow for personal growth and life fulfillment. A critical element of the company's vision is to help others and give back to the local community. Michael and the company were highlighted in U.S. Veterans Magazine in November 2013 and Disabled American Veterans Magazine in the July/August 2014 issues.
To promote his message that each person has the power to deal with adversity and move forward, no matter the circumstances, Michael has written Turning the Page: Overcoming Abuse to Reach Life's Fulfillment, Our Journey: Heart to Heart with God, and now Bridging the Gap from Soldier to Civilian: A Road Map to Success for Veterans. Drawing upon his own personal military experiences, Michael illustrates in the book how he created his own transition program in order for other veterans to succeed in their post-military careers. He now seeks to help others by sharing that program through his new book.
