In Service of Our Country
For Better Lives
We mentor US veterans in starting businesses. And we create start-up business opportunities for veterans to own. By doing so we create more jobs for other veterans. Most of the veteran entrepreneurs we have helped have achieved financial independence through the companies we assisted them in forming.
Patriotic Hearts primary mission and purpose is to assist US Military, Veterans and their families in having happy, successful, and fulfilling lives.
Patriotic Hearts’ HirePatriots program focuses on securing their financial futures by providing employment opportunities, daily, part-time, and full-time. – Reconnecting with the civilian world when transitioning from military service can be very difficult after the strict structure of military service. Towards the end, HirePatriots includes a unique job board where local civilian residents post chores around their homes and yards for local US Military, and veterans to do and earn extra income. This creates a friendly connection between them and the residents in nearby communities, which often results in developing surrogate friendships and families, and being invited to share holidays, family dinners. These connections enrich their lives, prevents depression and loneliness; and can assist them in transitioning successfully too.
Our US Military Maintenance and US Military Clean programs are unique veteran-owned start-up business opportunities. They have established veteran owned businesses in over 40 states. This program provides personal training on how to incorporate and acquire paying accounts within their first month. We provide their equipment, OSHA certifications, uniforms, marketing, and monthly national team meetings that are educational, inspiring and motivational.
The Military Families Aid program provides direct financial assistance when urgent bills must be paid. This includes active duty, veterans, and their widows and orphans too.
Patriotic Hearts also hosts Military Marriage Retreats. These are 3-day, all expenses paid retreats at romantic destinations. Professional marriage counselors entertain our couples with activities that enhance their intimacy, communication, and the keys to having a lifelong enriching relationship. These events also include older US veterans who have been married for decades to counsel and to share their personal stories about how they achieved and maintained a lasting mutual love for each other. Continuing counseling is also provided as needed.
Our Godly Way program augments the guidance offered on US bases through their chaplaincies. It provides direction and encouragement for living purpose filled lives.
Patriotic Hearts is funded almost solely through its CarDonation2Veterans program. Americans in the continental US donate cars and trucks, usually when they are replaced by newer vehicles to support Patriotic Hearts endeavors. We pick up within 48 hours and provide a tax-deductible receipt for their vehicles’ value. – These cars and trucks are sold at auction, and their proceeds pay the multiple expenses of providing Patriotic Hearts programs across all of America.
Patriotic Hearts Inc. is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Your donation can help provide careers and daily jobs to veterans and assists companies with veteran recruiting through their job board, and nationwide recruiting events.
Our History
About Patriotic Hearts
In 2005, the founders were living next door to Camp Pendleton Marine Base. One day a Marine who had just returned home from Iraq knocked on their door. “Sir,” he said, “I just got back from deployment and found out that my wife was laid-off a couple of months before I got back home. And when I got back today I found out that our utilities were turned off. So I need to earn some extra money to make sure that we can have lights and heat before my kids go to sleep tonight. – Is there any work or repairs that I can do for you around your home or yard?”
The founders wanted to just give the Marine the money he needed; but, he insisted on working for it. So he cleaned their house, did yardwork and fixed the carburetor on an old car they had. The Marine earned $100 that day and got his bills paid.
Patriotic Hearts was created to see if any other residents wanted to hire local Marines. Within a few months 10,000 residents and Marines were coming to the site every week!
Horses for Healing Heroes
The purpose of Horses for Healing Heroes is to provide a place for Recovery and Recuperation and Renewal. People who suffer trauma, injury, and emotional or psychological affliction often respond to working with horses far more effectively than other kinds of therapy. Horses have been used for this purpose for over 3,000 years. Many have called this therapy “amazing,” and “miraculous.” And it has demonstrated positive results when working closely with horses.
Patriotic Hearts has been assisting US Veterans and their families for decades. Now, with many American heroes risking their lives daily to provide our medical and physical needs, Patriotic Hearts has expanded their mission to assist all First Responders: Fire, EMTs, Paramedics, Doctors and Nurses, and Police. All of these great Americans stand between us and danger. They risk their lives while saving the lives of other Americans. We all have an obligation to honor their daily sacrifices, and the anxiety and stress of their loved ones.
There are a variety of horse therapy programs available, from the highly trained and certified professionals, to concerned and philanthropic horse ranches; and from the strictly regulated professional standards of horse people with good hearts. Each has their legitimate place in helping people to recover from a variety of emotional, developmental, and physical challenges. Horses have proven over thousands of years to be especially adept at restoring people to better health and mindfulness, regardless of a person’s affliction or issue.
We work with Armed Services, YMCA’s, and Horse of the Sun Ranch. Miracles happen there! And lives are changed for the better. The staff are amazing! Like all great coaches and teachers, they seem to have been given a gift at birth to work with horses and to heal people. It is a wondrous dynamic!
Our charity, Patriotic Hearts, is forming relationships with selected programs across America. The funds we raise are distributed to these horse ranches to help provide for the needs of America’s Heroes across the country.
