Spread Season's Greetings with Last-Minute Giving

Do you have one of those hard-to-buy for people on your gift-giving list? That Uncle who has everything, or the Grandmother who tells you to save your money? Or, are you strapped for cash, but still want to give something meaningful? Consider giving the gift of health!

Donations to Healing Heroes Network can be made in honor of your Uncle or Grandmother. We'll tell your donation honoree all about the Heroes your gift will help. Heroes like Chad from Virginia who's getting new dental work to save his teeth from the grinding caused from his PTSD; or James from Tennessee who will start the new year receiving Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for his PTSD and chronic headaches. This holiday season, your gift can give back!

Here's how!

Another letter of support from one of our Hero families!

SSgt. Jose Pequeno began seeing an HHN Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy provider in April 2010. Jose lost the bottom two lobes of the left-side of his brain, and is known as one of the most severely wounded servicemen to come home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. To this day, Jose is unable to care for himself and requires around-the-clock care. While his outlook appears grim, HHN is determined to give this true American Hero every opportunity to regain as much function as possible.


“The treatment that Jose receives from Healing Heroes Network is fantastic and very loving,” said Nellie Bagley, Jose’s mother. “Both my son and I feel like we are welcomed with open arms with the care they provide. Healing Heroes has made a difference in our lives by their accommodating atmosphere, offers and health care. They are willing to try what others are not, and give us the time to gain progress. Healing Heroes is a wonderful network that not only opens their arms and hearts to us, but veterans of all kinds.”

From War in Mortar-Ville to a New War at Home


"Your life can be over in a second."
"You can die from standing in the wrong place."
"Why does one person make it out of there and another person doesn't?"

These are the thoughts and questions that run through Spc. Brian Taylor's head. After heading to Iraq in 2004 with the Washington State National Guard's 81st Brigade, Brian's life was forever changed. His infantry unit was assigned to provide security for an EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) team. As you can imagine, Brian lived through some terrifying experiences.

"I didn't really realize the scope of what I was doing and where I was, until we started carrying our fellow soldiers out in body bags," recalls Brian. Read More...

Honor a Hero this Veteran's Day...and Every Day!

Veteran's Day may be only one day a year, but shouldn't we honor our Heroes every day? Each day of freedom we have, we owe to the members of our armed forces and their families. Behind these brave service men and women, their family members and loved ones share in their sacrifice and provide endless support.

While only a fraction of Americans are in military families, everyone shares in the responsibility of caring for our military families and veterans. Through HHN, you can give a Hero the gift of health, and give their families back their loved one.

101 Things YOU Can do...


It's so simple, but often goes unsaid. This Veteran's Day remember our nation's Heroes, and say 'Thank You' to those who have served and who continue to serve. Check out 101 ways to Thank a Veteran to find an easy way to show your support!

Join HHN in thanking our Heroes and their families this Veteran's Day, and every day.

Happy 235th Birthday USMC!

You don't look a day over 200!


Today is the 235th birthday for the United States Marine Corps...
 
Did you know?
 
During the American Revolution, a committee of the Continental Congress met to draft a resolution calling for two battalions of Marines that would be able to fight for independence at sea, as well as on shore. With the approval of the resolution on 11/10/1775, the Continental Marines were officially formed.

Military Family month is here!

It's time to show your appreciation, gratitude, and respect for veterans, members of the armed forces, and military families. Military Family Appreciation Month honors the sacrifices of our military families. Army families of Active, Guard, Reserve, veterans, and retirees are giving back in a time of need, and sustain and support the Soldiers who defend our Nation. Whether you have a family member, a friend, a neighbor, or are a veteran yourself - it's time to think about the sacrifices our Heroes and their families make every day. You can make a difference in a Hero's life today by making a donation.


Honoring and remembering the enormous sacrifices that veterans have made, and continue to make, is a duty of every American. The courage, valor, loyalty and bravery they have shown throughout history can never be forgotten, or taken for granted. They have safe-guarded our freedoms and continue to fight for the values and beliefs Americans hold most dear - democracy, equality, liberty, and freedom. These things do not come without a price. Our armed service men and women, both past and present, are the Heroes who have upheld these precious gifts and are doing so at this very moment. You can directly help repay their sacrifice by helping them heal.

Army families are important, since the strength of our Heroes comes from the strength of their families. Our nation's Hero families are giving back in this time of need. With thousands of service members deployed, recognizing their daily sacrifices has never been more important. During the month of November, we want to showcase your family. Send us your stories, pictures and videos and tell us in your own words what it means to be an "Strong Hero Family."
