How did Hometown Heroes start?
Hometown Heroes started with the recognition that those who have sacrificed and served our country in the military are, in fact, “Heroes”. Another fact that is apparent if we are paying attention is that these Heroes live, work, and serve in virtually every community – every “Hometown” – across America. These heroes are not just people we read about or the ones who pretend on TV and the movies, these are parents, grandparents, friends, teachers, grocery store workers, business people, nurses, homemakers – virtually every demographic that we interact with every day as we go about our lives. Every Veteran has a story to tell and they need to be preserved for the benefit of generations of families and friends and for the historical and educational benefit of all Americans.
