WHY WE HONOR OUR HEROES
The WHY is easy, because there is a huge void of gratitude, appreciation and kindness in this country for everything our freedom provides and the brave women and men Heroes that go and have gone out of their way to make our lives better.
READ MOREBecause of our Heroes who have sacrificed themselves and their families, those whom have given all, and those who continue to serve to keep the rest of us out of harm’s way, there is no greater country on this planet that provides more opportunity for success and greatness than these United States of America! We honor these Heroes because they have all taken an oath to lay down their lives if called to do so to protect what this country. We are proud to lead this Mission because it is the right thing to do!
Everyone out there who has ever walked past a Hero in uniform or who knows a veteran, active military member or first responder wants to say Thank You in some way, but maybe just doesn’t know how? Gratitude Professor Foundation has made it easy and memorable the thank a Hero and create a lifelong memory. Our Medal of Honor Hero Packages change lives, and with the epidemic of Veteran suicide rate at an all-time high, taking the opportunity to personally and tangibly honor and thank a Hero by putting a Medal of Honor around their neck and letting them know that they are loved and that they matter is very powerful; this is your opportunity to make a difference says Edward Pereira, the Foundations’ Founder and CEO.
