Who do we help?
Active-duty military, veterans, families of those, and unaccompanied members (prior or active duty military who die with no family or minimal family).
As I’ve said before no one who has served our country should be laid to rest alone!
The how...
In March of 2020, we had an unaccompanied Marine, Cortlin caught wind of this via social media (Jose Solis) and ran with it. Jose was also able to connect Cortlin with some folks to connect a lot of the dots.
He did interviews, he made phone calls, he did live Facebook videos, and used word of mouth.
It was very hard to even get people to call back or to play any part in it. Becoming a non-profit has greatly improved participation, funding for support and events for veterans.
Our Team
Our amazing team is dedicated to the veteran community as well as the active-duty members. Our team is made up of mostly veterans with one active-duty Navy Chief, and a civilian who has been deeply affected by veterans as well as family who served. We all bring something a bit different to the table. We all come from different walks of life and we all have different personalities. The best part... we've come together to help the very community we all love!
Our History
An idea that sprouted in March 2020 when the Wenatchee Valley lost a Marine Veteran without family (Unaccompanied). Our founder is a Navy Veteran who was overwhelmed with emotions. He then took to social media and to spread the word! He has the help of a founding member Jose Solis. Jose helped Cortlin connect with the right people to get things going. This is where the dream and planning of a Non-profit started. We're currently a WA Non-profit and Federally recognized non-profit so that we can better serve!
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a grateful community of peers for all active service men and women, veterans and their families; as well as offer support to unaccompanied veterans by organizing and assisting in proper military burials. We believe no veteran or active duty member should get left behind.
