My name is Mark Baird. I am the founder of Patriotic Hearts, a 501c3 non-profit. Our primary purpose is to assist US veterans and their families.

Why We Must Hire US Veterans! WASHINGTON -- Suicides are surging among America's troops, averaging nearly one a day this year -- the fastest pace in the nation's decade of war. The 154 suicides for active-duty troops in the first 155 days of the year far outdistance the U.S. forces killed in action in Afghanistan -- about 50 percent more -- according to Pentagon statistics obtained by the Associated Press. The numbers reflect a military burdened with wartime demands from Iraq and Afghanistan that have taken a greater toll than foreseen a decade ago. Because suicides had leveled off in 2010...

I just received an email from the United States Marines stationed in Japan on clean up duty, in the area of the earthquake and tsunami.

They need 2,000 chap sticks in a hurry. Please help by announcing it in your church, school, post, organization. You can send it to: Voiture 333; 2705 S. Ohio; Sedalia, MO 6530.The Marines need our help! Tony Gallagher, Nationale PR Directuer, 40 &...

Our Wonderful US Vets! Many vets who are transitioning out of the US Military and back into civilian life are not the boys and girls they were before. They are mature men and women. In fact, they have grown far beyond their civilian counterparts who are the same age.I taught High School in America for 35 years. I am fully acquainted with how our education system fails our children. Truly, every generation becomes less informed as each decade passes. But The U.S. Military has excelled. They transform struggling kids into disciplined and effective warriors and servants of our country.The...
