We are a community of military and civilian people who have formed an alliance with one specific purpose – to take care of our returning vets. We do this by our initial actions and involvement in the lives of our veterans and how we work to organize the cities and communities we live in towards being veteran ready and veteran friendly. Much of our time spent is based on helping the veteran make a smooth transition – “Back to the World”“Creating a vision and a path for a successful military experience while providing a self-structured plan for their future.”Anyone is welcome to join our service communities and we are available for community organizing, instruction and consulting to cities, organizations, businesses and individuals who want to become veteran ready and veteran friendly. We invite city councils, Economic Development Associations, politicians, and community leaders to join as stakeholders in this endeavor.Contact us directly at 877 525-4321 or email us at membership@welcomehome.vet

With thousands of military Veterans re-integrating into society, it is imperative to create a local infrastructure to support them. The other focus for us is the large amount of youth entering into the business force each year from high school, trade, graduate and post graduate schools.GBI-Emerald Veterans is a cause marketing movement and challenge campaign that mobilizes veteran communities and the general public to give support to a business infrastructure system that empowers our returning military veterans, and under-served communities in self-employment training/ entrepreneurship and small business development.The GBI Emerald Veterans Project is now creating a small business support infrastructure that connects participants with the national mission of “Rebuilding the American Dream” . The program uses the integration of our military veteran leadership, former athletes and business professionals to create opportunities in our inner and rural cities. We target our focus on military veterans, youth (12-16) / young adults (16–26) and social entrepreneurs. The program is being casted and filmed for implementation.

Our main mission is to sponsor programs that our parent organization, The American Legion, does to improve veterans communities, such as scholarships, veterans help programs (i.e. ending veterans homelessness), and youth sports. They also promote national security, patriotism, and devotion to veterans.
