Vision
We are Warriors helping and honoring Warriors. And we believe
“It takes a Warrior to heal a Warrior” - Native American Medicine Man
Our Country has an opportunity right now to honor, heal, and help the Warriors that dedicate their lives to serving our Country. For our future, we must do this.
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by our nation." -- George Washington
The same applies to our Warriors serving here at home as First Responders.
Our Warriors sacrifice everyday for our freedom fighting in our Nation’s wars and keeping us safe here at home. They deserve our recognition for their sacrifice.
Our Warriors face mental, physical, emotional and external struggles with relationships, family, jobs and so on that often leads to feelings of despair and isolation. According to the VA, everyday 22 Veterans and 1 Active Duty Military person takes their life. And everyday, our First Responders respond to horrible tragedies they must mentally, physically, and emotionally deal with. As George Washington said, it is our duty to heal and honor our Warriors.
“To care for him who shall have borne the battle.”

Enrich - Engage - Educate
Engage
We do more than simply say “Thank You” to our Warriors. We give our Warriors a voice and a platform to share their experiences and connect with warriors like them.
Our Warrior Guardians are on the front lines everyday all over the world helping fellow Warriors. They are our quick reaction force that deploys immediately whenever there is a Warrior in need. Through the use of technology, social media, and our Warrior networks, we are readily able to reach out to help our fellow Warriors through whatever means necessary. We are Warriors helping Warriors.
Our United strength comes from the stories we share. Our events connect groups and members of our society with our Warriors in a positive and enriching forum. Bridging the Warrior-Civilian gap will unite and build a stronger future for the United States of America.
Enrich
Our Enrichments are the medium for honoring and helping our Warriors. We provide our Warriors world class and custom tailored opportunities to help promote healing with other Warriors.
A recent study reported that the average adult American spends less than one hour per day outside, and the conclusion of the study is that this lack of outdoor activities is detrimental to our overall health. This combined with the other challenges our Warriors face often has dire consequences.
Our enrichments are as diverse as our warriors. The activities we provide to Warriors enrich their and their family’s lives. Our Enrichments give Warrior’s a new outlook, foster new opportunities, and broaden their support base.
Educate
They volunteered to serve our Country, now it’s our turn to honor and help them. Connecting Warriors with the training and education they need to succeed.
According to a recent study and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, post 9/11 Veterans are 81% more likely to be unemployed than non-veterans (age 20-24).
We help our Warriors attain quality education and employment opportunities, therefore allowing our Warriors to continue to serve our great Nation.
Our Warriors have a great deal of leadership and experience that can benefit any organization they join. We help provide education and training opportunities for those Warriors who do not currently have the business skills, training, or certifications required to successfully transition into the civilian workforce.
We help fill the critical shortages America faces with the motivated, skilled, and quality Warriors seeking those positions. Our involvement is highly individualized to each Warrior, their needs, and their future aspirations.
