Founder of the Our Community Salutes, Colorado Chapter. We recognize and support high school seniors who plan to enlist into the military immediately after high school graduation, and provide them with resources that aid in their transition into military service. We help the parents, guardians, and families of high school seniors enlisting in the military and provide them information and resources to support their son or daughter’s transition into the military. We help communities provide the collective support of like-minded parents, families, educators, business leaders, and veterans coming together for the purpose of honoring our nation’s newest service members.
