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.
Our nation owes a profound debt of gratitude to the men and women who serve in the U.S. military. Their sacrifices ensure our freedom, security, and way of life. Yet, too often, their families face financial struggles, especially during times of transition, unexpected emergencies, or the loss of a loved one. Patriotic Hearts created the Military Families Aid program to address these challenges and provide direct assistance to U.S. military and veteran families, as well as their widows, in paying urgent bills.

Our History
About Patriotic Hearts
In 2007, Mark and Tori received an unexpected knock at their door. A US Marine veteran back from Iraq needed work simply to keep the lights and heat on for his young family. Mark and Tori didn’t just see an emergency need— they saw a systemic gap. Rather than offering short-term charity alone, they applied their business to build long-term economic independence for service members, founding the national nonprofit Patriotic Hearts.
They have primarily focused on the hardships of transitioning from the US Military. First they created a unique, free One Day job board for residents to post chores around their homes and yards. That was very successful and provided hundreds of immediate jobs for both active military, veterans, and their spouses to earn extra money. Soon afterwards, they added free full-time job board, HirePatriots.com.
Soon after that program launched, they discovered that Iraq and Afghan warriors had an extremely high divorce rate. So, they rented out rooms at an exclusive seaside resort and hosted Military Marriage retreats.
Next, they offered a business opportunity, a commercial maintenance business. They provided everything veterans needed to get started and to be successful, equipment, website, marketing, OSHA certification, and a step-by-step training program. They have assisted in creating over 100 such V.O.B.s across America, so far.
Military families often face financial hardships, such as medical emergencies, home and car repairs, and food for their families. To assist them when facing such financial emergencies they created Military Families Aid. This resource, as all of their programs are also available for widows and widowers.
Patriotic Hearts also gives aid to homeless veterans by providing them with shelter, food, medical supplies, clothing, transportation, and whatever they need to survive and to get back on their feet.
Mark and Tori’s relentless advocacy has earned commendations from U.S. Presidents, Congress, and national media, include the Congressional Medal of Merit, the President’s National Leadership Medal, the Visionary Award for Creating Economic Development, and a feature in PEOPLE Magazine’s as one of America’s ‘Heroes Among Us.’
