We refuse to stand by while Veterans become statistics. We exist to take action – connecting veterans to critical resources.

Our Purpose

As service-connected disabled Veterans, we know firsthand the difficulties that exists within the Veteran community including divorce, financial crisis, substance abuse, lack of purpose, unemployment, homelessness, mental trauma, and suicide. These are real issues that have a lasting impact on Veteran families and our community. We made a decision to reach out and help Veterans locally.
​
“We came together as Veterans to become part of the solution because we’ve traveled through those dark roads, and I almost ended up a statistic. I’ve been there and now I want to help. This is why we started this nonprofit,” said Stephen Saltzman, Marine Recon Veteran (1987-1991), former high threat personal security for Blackwater, and Founding Board Member of Honor Local Veterans.

Our Why?

On June 15, 2023, Dr. Julie Kroviak Testified before Congress on Improving Substance Use Disorder Care for Veterans, and I feel strongly that the evidence presented validates the importance of our work in Galveston County. Dr. Kroviak highlighted that Veterans “living in highly rural areas are 65% more likely to die from suicide than those residing in urban settings.”

This is serious news 65%. If we want to be a beacon of hope for our brothers and sisters who feel neglected, disconnected and without purpose, we must do more. Our veteran-led nonprofit in Galveston County has been committed to being a resource to our 21,000+ Veterans since 2018. Join our mission!
