HirePatriots is a Program of Patriotic Hearts
Patriotic Hearts 501c3 Programs
HirePatriots is a program of Patriotic Hearts, a tax-exempt 501(c) 3 non-profit that is supported largely by charitable contributions. It is in ?good standing? with the IRS.
It began as a response to a Marine who returned from Iraq to discover his wife and two small children living without utilities, due to his wife being laid off while he was deployed. He knocked on our founders? door and asked: ?Sir, Ma?am, I need to earn some money right away to get the electric and gas turned on in my home for my family. Do you have any work that I can do for you right now around your home or yard??
Our U.S. military, particularly the lower and mid-range enlisted and their families, often endure extreme financial stress, coupled with multiple, lengthy deployments and the rigors of military life. These conditions elevate stress. It creates marital conflicts and reduces the effectiveness of those men and women in fulfilling their responsibilities on the battlefield or in support positions. ? Financial stress endangers families and warriors lives.
In response to this burgeoning crisis, Patriotic Hearts has developed several programs. In recognition of the vital programs we provide President Bush presented us with the ?Congressional Medal of Merit.? And President Obama recently awarded us the ?Presidents Call to Service Medal.?

A) These One Day jobs fill a critical need for transitioning troops and veterans. With 900,000 unemployed U.S. veterans, as of this writing, HirePatriots? One Day jobs give patriotic U.S. residents an opportunity to pitch in and temporarily employ them until they can find full time employment.
B) HirePatriots is valued by every branch of the United States Military.

The ultimate goal for HirePatriots is to succeed in helping every U.S. veteran to secure sustainable, full-time employment.

C) HirePatriots takes calls and emails from veterans looking for work every day. We refer them to hiring managers or residents that we know are hiring, advise them, recommend companies that are hiring, help them with their resumes, and even create blogs about them and their job search when it is needed.
Job Fairs: HirePatriots has hosted many job fairs for the U.S. military and veterans.? HirePatriots always seeks to have 100+ companies with relevant job openings attend these fairs. We conscientiously look for companies that have job openings that are to relevant military experience and who have a track record of hiring veterans.
HirePatriots has a stellar reputation with businesses across America and the world. And of course, we are highly regarded by the U.S. military.
In an effort to get transitioning troops to dialog with recruiters, we have volunteers escort transitioning military to appropriate booths and introduce them on a first name basis to the company recruiters.? We also create a relaxed atmosphere that makes people want to stay. Instead of the impersonal atmosphere of typical events like this, we try to create a comfortable, even home-like feel. We even provide free hot chocolate, coffee, milk and warm, fresh-baked cookies.
Veteran Entrepreneur Program: HirePatriots vigorously seeks to support veterans who have chosen to start their own businesses. We believe that this is crucial to the rebuilding of the American economy and to employing more of our transitioned U.S. military.
HirePatriots has created an award winning support program for American entrepreneurs that utilizes our higher cause to increase their visibility, brand and the numbers of people who know about their products or services. Our marketing program has been acclaimed in the national media as being one of our country?s most innovative and military friendly higher cause marketing strategies. (Most recently, we were touted in G.I. Jobs. ? June 2011)
Severely Disabled Veteran Job Placement and Job Training: It is vitally important that those who sacrificed the most in their military service, the severely disabled, are not left unemployed. We have worked with Visual Connections and Verizon to create a job training facility and program for these wounded warriors. ? First, we find computerized employment for these warriors that fit their abilities and knowledge. Then we use customized software to train them to overcome their handicaps and to fulfill these duties.
Green Veteran Village: Energy Self-Sufficient Housing Cooperative: Patriotic Hearts, our non-profit, has been offered land to build veteran housing. We are currently developing a unique program. It is a completely self-sufficient community for US veterans. It will utilize the most recent developments in green technology and energy.
The ultimate purpose of these new communities is to create a model for 21st housing.? Just as Tract housing was the model for the latter part of the 20th Century, we will create a new model for the 21st Century. Beginning with Green Veteran Villages, we will create a prototype for the development of self-sufficient, ecological communities across the world.
Patriotic Hearts Military Family Programs
Our military?s emotional and psychological health, as well as their professionalism is largely dependent upon the health of their relationships with their immediate family members. The divorce rate has risen as high as 90% on bases with frequent combat deployments. Military wives call it ?The Plague.? In an effort to create healthy military families, Patriotic Hearts has created 3 distinct but united programs:
Welcome Home Parties:? Patriotic Hearts hosts all-day picnics for recently returned combat battalions. These include barbeques, games, rides, contest, clowns, personalities and live music for the entire military family. At the end of these events, the married couples are invited to attend a Patriotic Hearts marriage retreat.
Military Marriage Enrichment Retreats:? Patriotic Hearts has military marriage enrichment retreats to strengthen military and veteran?s marriages. The theme of our retreats is ?Love and Respect.? They are held at beautiful resorts. They last from Friday night until Sunday afternoon. We continue to follow each couple closely after the retreats. And we have had wonderful success in keeping marriages and families united. These are 3 day, all-expenses paid retreats.
Marital & PTSD Counseling:? Beginning at our marriage retreats, we connect each couple that requires it with a trained marriage and PTSD therapist. At the end of our retreats we provide the names and contact information of our counselors to each couple. At the conclusion of our Sunday event, we present each couple with a large frame consisting of multiple photos taken of them during the retreat for them to hang on a wall in their home. Whenever there is conflict or need, they are to take the frame down and call a counselor on the back. Often the source of the conflict is rooted in traumatic experiences created during military service.
Military Entertainment Program:
HirePatriots is very fortunate to have the Hip Kitty band be our representatives on US bases and on TV.? They are a highly acclaimed band that has toured the world, visiting and performing for our troops.
HirePatriots and its programs have proven to be vital and greatly appreciated by our U.S. military, veterans and their families. ? It is our goal to directly assist 100,000 US veteran a year.
We work with U.S. veteran owned and patriotic businesses and organizations and implement a synergistic cause marketing plan.? In return for your support, we have created an award winning higher cause marketing strategy based on what made HirePatriots so tremendously popular. In return for helping us, we go the extra mile for you.
