“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,…”

Our Motto

Yes, this is a twist on the West Point Motto:  “Duty, Honor, Country”, since 1898, and used by Gen McArthur in 1962 in a famous speech. We have discussed that our mission has changed in recent years from “Veterans Helping Veterans” to include more general Community involvement, so we decided on this new motto in 2023.

We think our Motto speaks about our current mission.

Duty

We still have the original mission: Duty to support Veterans who have sacrificed so much. Support the VSO. Support the Military Active, Guard, and Reserve doing the work now. Support the first responders protecting our community. 

Honor

Honor the Veterans past, present and future by doing the patriotic ceremonies and by maintaining the monuments to Veterans.

Community

We get super volunteer help and representation from Veterans, non-veterans, and organizations in the Community. Our projects aim to benefit the community, for example the Food Distribution Project, and the Wreaths Across America Project.
