Our Mission
About Us
To advance Veteran careers in life after the uniform, and to produce high-quality creative content in tandem with our Community Neighbor™.
Our Vision
To realize a world where Veterans and non-Veterans understand each other better, value each other more, and overcome outdated stereotypes to bring out the best in each other.
"Entertainment is the connection we all share. It disarms stereotypes, breaks down walls, and is the best ice breaker to educate and start a conversation. The U.S.Veteran has been an icon in culture innovation for over 100 years, and we are honored to carry that legacy on, now and beyond." - Cowboy Jax
