This executive summary highlights our flagship projects: the Virtual Memorial Park, Veteran Stories, VetKind, and Mission Mindfulness.
Virtual Memorial Park:
A Digital Sanctuary
Our Virtual Memorial Park offers a sacred digital space to remember and honor fallen veterans. It enables families, friends, and loved ones to create personalized dedication pages for veterans, ensuring their legacies endure. This initiative not only serves as a timeless tribute but also as a community where shared memories and stories inspire future generations.
Veteran Stories:
Amplifying Untold Heroism
Recognizing that many valorous deeds go unrecognized, iHEART Veterans calls upon veterans to share their stories. Our platform gives voice to these unsung heroes, transforming their experiences into various media formats, including blog posts, podcasts, and documentaries. By documenting and sharing these stories, we aim to honor their bravery and sacrifices, ensuring their legacy is known and celebrated.
VetKind:
Acts of Compassion and Unity
VetKind is a groundbreaking initiative designed to weave acts of kindness into the fabric of the veteran community. This program is built on the belief that compassion and kindness are powerful agents of healing and unity. VetKind encourages everyone to participate in acts that uplift and honor veterans — fostering a culture of gratitude, hope, and camaraderie. Through VetKind, we aim to create a lasting impact, one act of kindness at a time.
Mission Mindfulness:
Healing Through Inner Peace
Mission Mindfulness addresses the mental and emotional well-being of veterans and the wider community by offering a comprehensive online yoga and mindfulness meditation program. Tailored to meet the unique challenges of modern life, this program provides tools for managing anxiety, stress, and negative thoughts. Participants not only embark on a personal journey of self-discovery and healing but also contribute to supporting veterans in need, as all profits are dedicated to veteran assistance programs.

Unless you’ve been a soldier,
You just won’t understand.
The things that we have seen and done,
In the service of our land.
We were trained to live in combat,
And to deal with awful sights,
That shouldn’t be seen by anyone
And keep you awake at nights.
We don’t discuss the wounds we have,
To the body or the mind.
We just put our hurts behind us,
And turn our memories blind.
We are proud we served our country,
But remember those we lost.
For the freedom that you have today,
They paid the awful cost.
