About Us
Our Story
The founding of Salute Our Veterans is a labor of appreciation and commitment to the men and women who have given their time, service and dedication to this great country. We have an ultimate mission of creating jobs for veterans and their family members. Additionally, we want to provide useful resources and valuable information for many local veterans in need.
My husband, Eric, dedicated 22 years to the Air Force and two of our three sons served in the Air Force and Navy respectively. This is a heartfelt mission.
"Freedom is Never Free"
Thank you,
Agnes Vangsnes: Founder/ Executive Director
Our Short-Term Mission
At Salute Our Veterans, our mission is to improve the lives of local veterans in need by providing essential services and support in our communities. We believe that everyone deserves access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare.
Who We Are - Salute Our Veterans
Our Long-Term Mission
Our mission will create jobs for local veterans looking for employment. Supporting them in an environment that emphasizes dignity, comradery and respect.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to secure a building that will become the Salute Our Veterans Thrift Store.
While we build local community connections we are starting "Operation Vet Pack" project. This project will utilize local support to gather and fill backpacks with basic essentials and nonperishable food to give to our local veterans in need.
Our Impact
As a new nonprofit start-up, we have only just begun this exciting journey of creating a green, self-sustaining and eco-friendly business model and helping our local veterans with many programs and projects.
Working together with this wonderful community, veteran organizations, government agencies and local businesses, we can make an amazing difference. These brave men and women gave so much for us, now we have an opportunity to give back to them.
Thank you!
