A Letter From Our Founder
Dearest readers,
After spending 23 years in the U.S. Navy I have developed a heart for veterans who fulfilled their patriotic duty. Veterans and their families made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, yet often have difficulty returning to civilian life and obtaining the benefits available to them or even finding a sympathetic listener. For the last ten years, this dream of mine has been heavy on my heart; creating a charitable organization to help returning veterans. After retiring from the Navy and government services my dream is finally within reach. Can you believe it? I hope to see you stick around for this amazing journey my wife and I are about to embark on.
Regards,
Jerry L. Kistner
