Veteran owned and operated.
As a family and veteran-owned non-profit business, we are thrilled to extend our support to fellow disabled veterans in their quest for essential resources and medical care. Our commitment stems from a profound respect for the sacrifices made by these heroes. We understand the challenges they face and are dedicated to guiding them through the process of accessing the benefits they so rightfully deserve. Our team, driven by empathy and a shared sense of duty, stands ready to assist in every step of their journey towards recovery and well-being.
The dedication and service of John and Geneva Gardner who have served in multiple capacities, such as a co-founder of a veteran service organization, CEO, and in various conflicts from Vietnam to the Gulf War, and during significant events like 9/11, is truly commendable. These individuals often carry a wealth of experience and leadership skills that are invaluable not only to military organizations but also to the corporate world. Their ability to adapt, overcome adversity, and lead with integrity is a testament to their character and the rigorous training they have undergone. It’s important to recognize the contributions of these veterans, as they continue to serve and inspire long after their active duty has ended. Organizations led by such veterans are often driven by a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by those who have served, leading to impactful support and advocacy for veterans’ welfare and rights.
