Patriotic Hearts
Have you seen Horses for Healing Heroes?
It is a new program of Patriotic Hearts. Veterans and First Responders risk their lives everyday to protect ours. Trauma and stress are the result. They and their families now have a retreat where horses will help them to heal, recuperate and recover.
Our Story
Hire Patriots was launched in 2005. The founders were living next door to Camp Pendleton Marine Base. One day a Marine who had just returned home from Iraq knocked on their door. “Sir,” he said, “I just got back from deployment and found out that my wife was laid-off a couple of months before I got back home. And when I got back today I found out that our utilities were turned off. So I need to earn some extra money to make sure that we can have lights and heat before my kids go to sleep tonight. – Is there any work or repairs that I can do for you around your home or yard?”
The founders wanted to just give the Marine the money he needed; but, he insisted on working for it. So he cleaned their house, did yardwork and fixed the carburetor on an old car they had. The Marine earned $100 that day and got his bills paid.
Hire Marines was created to see if any other residents wanted to hire local Marines. Within a few months 10,000 residents and Marines were coming to the site every week! — The website changed its name to Hire Patriots when the sailors in San Diego asked if they could use the site too.
Hire Patriots offers Careers and daily Jobs to veterans and assists companies with veteran recruiting through their job board, and nationwide recruiting events.
Making the Lives of America’s Military, Veterans, and their Families Better
Patriotic Hearts Inc. is a nonprofit organization established under the laws of the state of California. The organization’s primary mission is to assist US Military, Veterans, and their families.
Patriotic Hearts primary mission and purpose is to assist US Military, Veterans and their families in having happy, successful, and fulfilling lives.
Patriotic Hearts’ HirePatriots program focuses on securing their financial futures by providing employment opportunities, daily, part-time, and full-time. – Reconnecting with the civilian world when transitioning from military service can be very difficult after the strict structure of military service. Towards the end, HirePatriots includes a unique job board where local civilian residents post chores around their homes and yards for local US Military, and veterans to do and earn extra income. This creates a friendly connection between them and the residents in nearby communities, which often results in developing surrogate friendships and families, and being invited to share holidays, family dinners. These connections enrich their lives, prevents depression and loneliness; and can assist them in transitioning successfully too.
Our US Military Maintenance and US Military Clean programs are unique veteran-owned start-up business opportunities. They have established veteran owned businesses in over 40 states. This program provides personal training on how to incorporate and acquire paying accounts within their first month. We provide their equipment, OSHA certifications, uniforms, marketing, and monthly national team meetings that are educational, inspiring and motivational.
The Military Families Aid program provides direct financial assistance when urgent bills must be paid. This includes active duty, veterans, and their widows and orphans too.
Patriotic Hearts also hosts Military Marriage Retreats. These are 3-day, all expenses paid retreats at romantic destinations. Professional marriage counselors entertain our couples with activities that enhance their intimacy, communication, and the keys to having a lifelong enriching relationship. These events also include older US veterans who have been married for decades to counsel and to share their personal stories about how they achieved and maintained a lasting mutual love for each other. Continuing counseling is also provided as needed.
Our Godly Way program augments the guidance offered on US bases through their chaplaincies. It provides direction and encouragement for living purpose filled lives.
Patriotic Hearts is funded almost solely through its CarDonation2Veterans program. Americans in the continental US donate cars and trucks, usually when they are replaced by newer vehicles to support Patriotic Hearts endeavors. We pick up within 48 hours and provide a tax-deductible receipt for their vehicles’ value. – These cars and trucks are sold at auction, and their proceeds pay the multiple expenses of providing Patriotic Hearts programs across all of America.

Patriotic Hearts Inc. is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, meaning that the organization is exempt from federal income taxes on income related to its charitable, educational, or other tax-exempt purposes.
