Increase the number of professional individuals involved with our organization in an effort to better serve the individuals we work with
Put the necessary building blocks in place to continue operating our organization in the smoothest and most efficient manner possible in order to better serve our participants

Our secondary program is to document our American Veterans’ stories to preserve American history, promote patriotism and honor, and increase public awareness that “Freedom Isn't Free”. Using the American Legion, AMVet, VFWs, VA, Veterans’ Hospitals, and other veteran organizations, we will identify veterans who wish to tell their stories. The organization has designed a 25 questions questionnaire as a guideline to gather veterans’ stories.
