Our Mission
At Heroes of America and Beyond, our mission is to honor veterans in our communities, by thanking them for their dedicated service and sacrifice for our freedoms. We strive to create lasting memories by providing them with these specially designed challenge coins, and giving them the opportunity to talk about their service.
" The solider above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war "

I started what would eventually become Heroes of America and Beyond in May of 2023.
As a third generation United States Navy veteran. I wanted a way to honor the four great men who served this country before me. So I designed my first challenge coin in their honor.
I carry a few of these coins everywhere I go. So when I meet a veteran I ask them about their service, and thank them for their that service by giving them one of the coins.
What I enjoy is to see the pride in their faces as they talk about their service. Sometimes I've laughed and sometimes I've cried with the veterans I meet.
I have had the great pleasure to meet some amazing veterans and hear some amazing stories. No amount of time I spend doing this is ever enough.
My dream is to reach every veteran but that's a big dream, but all I can do is try.
