We are committed to honoring the individuals that have volunteered their lives in defense of our country.
Heroes Foundation is dedicated to Daniel David Montoya Sr (Marine & Vietnam Veteran) and Salvador Montoya (Army & Vietnam Veteran).
Our military heroes are as diverse as the tapestry of life. Their spirit of self-sacrifice should be remembered, honor, and rewarded.
One small way we can say “thank you” is to support their transition back to civilian life.
We are committed to honoring our fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters all family that have volunteered their lives in the defense of their country.
Heroes Foundation is dedicated to Daniel David Montoya Sr (Marine & Vietnam Veteran) and Salvador Montoya (Army & Vietnam Veteran).
The Heroes Foundation was created with the idea that heroes can come in any shape and form…those that have served our country, families that have supported (and followed) our active duty and civilians that serve to honor the commitment of our military and their families.
Heroes Foundation redefines how Heroes serve by never forgetting, always remembering and understanding it’s not enough to say ‘thank you for your service’. Together, as a unified front, we can ensure no one transitions from the military alone….we rise and fall together.
Based on research, only 0.5% of the total United States population serves in the armed forces.
This means that 99.5% of the rest of the US population benefits from the relentless dedication in personal sacrifice from the quiet few.
