I am a simple patriot doing all that I can to support our US Military, its veterans, and their families. I know that there are millions just like me. We love America. We may disagree about politics, religion and about a myriad of other things, but we all agree that the US citizens who enlist in our military should be honored and supported for doing so. Less than 1% of Americans serve in our Armed Forces. They sacrifice a tremendous amount for doing so. The hardships and worry their families endure should also be recognized and applauded. In order to do so I began Patriotic Hearts, a US veteran non-profit, in 2004.
Patriotic Hearts focuses on providing economic opportunities for US veterans, even for those still actively serving. We provide an exclusive Careers job board for companies seeking to employ military trained US citizens. We host job fairs and specialized veteran hiring events on or near US bases. And we host company introductions and speed recruiting of veterans on college campuses. In addition, we provide communities with a free job board, HirePatriots.com, for their local citizens to employ local US military, veterans and their spouses, daily, part-time, and full-time. Independent vetting agencies estimate that over 500,000 veterans have found employment on Hire Patriots since we started 15 years ago.
The independent American Spirit has always been proven by our American entrepreneurs who build the businesses that employ Americans, and whose products and services enrich the lives of the whole world. Many US veterans become business owners because of several reasons. One, they bear the responsibility of providing for themselves and their families. Two, veterans embody the American Spirit, as defenders of our independence. They have all learned leadership and “project management,” during their military service. Veterans are natural entrepreneurs. Three, veterans never forget about their brothers and sisters who also served. US veteran business owners employ other US veterans.
After an exhaustive search for an easy and inexpensive start up that makes money right away and can grow into a six figure income within a year, Patriotic Hearts created US Military Maintenance. It has been hugely successful in improving the lifestyle of dozens of US veterans who have become independent owners. Their businesses are employing hundreds of other US veterans, at very good wages.
Patriotic Hearts is also in the progress of developing 440 beautiful acres in upstate New York into a US veteran entrepreneur’s village. We will provide housing, training and resources for US veterans to develop Green oriented businesses. We also will hold concerts at the various venues on the property, including a 50,000-seat arena. In addition, it will be home to Patriotic Heart’s Military Marriage Retreats, and a Veteran Holistic Healing Center. And we are building a state-of-the-art athletic challenge course for veterans. This extensive course will host a Veteran Challenge that will be like a US veteran Olympics.
