Joining Forces To Have a Greater Impact

In closing 2021, A Salute To Our Heroes Foundation reflects on the accomplishments of fundraising and meeting the supporters who believe in our mission. We are thankful for the families who have supported our cause in assisting veterans and their families through the Specialist Ethan J. Martin Scholarship Fund which provides money for the collegiate and trade school education of veteran children, awareness for (PTSD) Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and (TBI) Traumatic Brain Injury, and Julia Comfort Dog who provides relief of grief, love, and support. We are always looking for other resources to help our veterans and their families in “Joining Forces to have a Greater Impact.”
 
As we enter 2022, we bring forth additional amazing resource organizations that give assistance to our veterans by helping and honoring them for the sacrifices they have made for our country. With that in mind “A Salute To Our Heroes Foundation” has included: BraveHearts, Quilts of Valor and True Patriots Care on our website: asalutetoourheroes.com under “Resources”. If it was not for these private organizations and many others, veterans would have no place to get help, let alone heal. 
 
A Salute To Our Heroes Foundation looks forward to the wonderful possibilities of entering into 2022. Blessings to all of you in this coming year. We are excited to see you at our 3rd Annual Golf Outing on Friday, June 10, 2022, honoring 14 American Legion Riders, Post #57 in Elgin, IL.

Thank you,

It is with great pride and honor we announce that
“A Salute To Our Heroes Foundation”
2022 honorees will be the American Legion Riders
from Post # 57, Elgin, IL.


American Legion Riders chapters are well known for their charitable work, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support local children’s hospitals, schools, Veterans homes, severely wounded service members as well as award scholarships. Since 2006, Riders nationwide have participated in The American Legion Legacy Run to raise money for the Legacy Scholarship Fund, established to provide scholarships to children of U.S. military personnel killed since Sept. 11, 2001.

Currently, over 110,000 American Legion Riders meet in over 2,000 chapters in every domestic department and in at least three foreign countries. Riders in Iowa have formed an honor guard called The Five Star Freedom Riders, and Riders in Mulvane, Kansas, founded the Patriot Guard to protect the sanctity of military funerals from protesters. Riders in all states have escorted military units returning home from combat tours overseas, conducted massive cross-country fundraising events for wounded warriors from all services, and have raised millions of dollars for countless local, state, and national charities. Many Riders, supported by their departments, conduct annual statewide Legacy Runs in direct support of American Legion scholarship programs of Operation Comfort Warriors (OCW), supporting our wounded service members across the nation.
