About Us

Our Mission: To honor and recognize the veterans who have served our country with special emphasis on the Korean War Veterans and to inspire America's future leaders.

​

Our Goal: 1. Provide veterans with a greater opportunity to engage in social activities, build lifelong friendships with other veterans, and be proud of their service to our country. 2. Provide opportunities for young people to engage and hear the combat stories of our veterans that will inspire them.

​

Our Purpose: Many veterans have kept their war memories to themselves for over 70 years. By providing them the opportunity to share stories of why they joined the armed Forces and their combat experiences, we aim to inspire our youth and instill a sense of patriotism in their hearts. 

2 Corinthians 9:6 (KJV)

But this I say, he which soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly, and he which soweth

bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
