Meet Associate Board member and past president Matt Nemshick. Matt has been serving on the Associate Board since its inception and has played an active role in its fundraising efforts. Although he is kept busy in his role as Director of Data Center Accounts at Skender, he still finds the time to volunteer with SALUTE, including spending time preparing meals and speaking regularly with veterans suffering from PTSD and other mental health issues. We thank Matt for all he’s done for SALUTE and look forward to what he will accomplish in the years to come.

Today, we honor the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are deployed in the U.S. military. We thank you for your service, and on the Day of the Deployed, our hearts are with you and your families who are waiting for your safe return.

Thank you, Chamber of Commerce, for your partnership over the years. The Chamber regularly sponsors and co-hosts events with SALUTE and supports our mission to serve the veteran community. Thank you for your generosity and for making Rosemont a place where we love to spend our time.

Our goal is to touch the lives of as many veterans as possible. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the impact your donations have on the lives of veterans and their families. We see that every day and we wanted to share some of that with you.

Here is a note from Senior Airman Raphael, who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, a traumatic brain injury, and other injuries after serving in the United States Air Force for 14 years.

“Exiting the military and transitioning into the civilian world is extremely daunting, even more so when you’re doing that with a disability. We will always be grateful for the help you gave our family and hope to be in a place one day to give back…as we know firsthand how it can change the course of a life.”

Thank you for allowing us to help Raphael and so many veterans like him.

How quickly a life can change. A veteran of both the U.S. Army and the United States Air Force, Charlotte had a serious accident in 2021, which resulted in fractures in two areas of her neck. Even after seven surgeries, she remained a quadriplegic. Her husband stepped in to serve as her caregiver as she continued physical therapy and looked for other possible medical solutions.

In 2025, Charlotte discovered Beyond the Chair San Antonio, TX — a specialized activity-based recovery program for those living with paralysis. This adaptive exercise program is based on developmental movement and focuses on rolling, sitting, standing, crawling and walking.

Four years after the accident, Charlotte showed improvement in independence and functional mobility, increasing her self-sufficiency with transferring and positioning, reducing caregiver reliance.

Charlotte joyfully experienced assisted standing, something some physicians had told her would never happen. SALUTE was very proud to help this veteran pay for the costs of the physical therapy sessions at Beyond the Chair thanks to your donations and support.
