About Us
Our Story
The founding of Salute Our Veterans is a labor of appreciation and commitment to the men and women who have given their time, service and dedication to this great country. We have an ultimate mission of creating jobs for veterans and their family members. Additionally, we want to provide useful resources and valuable information for many local veterans in need.
My husband, Eric, dedicated 22 years to the Air Force and two of our three sons served in the Air Force and Navy respectively. This is a heartfelt mission.

Our Short-Term Mission
At Salute Our Veterans, our mission is to improve the lives of local veterans in need by providing essential services and support in our communities. We believe that everyone deserves access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare.
We started "Operation Vet Pack" to get nonperishable food, toiletries, hats, gloves, socks and a list of local Veteran resources for those in need.
We have filled and delivered over 100 so far!!
