If you are a U.S. Veteran, running your own personal Website or sole proprietor business, all you have to do is register and let me know how I can help. Easy as 1,2,3!
I am also honored to help fallen hero’s families to establish a Memorial or Foundation WordPress site/Blog in honor of their loved ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
I’ve always been passionate about our Veterans. My Father, Uncle, Aunt, Sister and my Husband are all Vets. Besides giving regularly and often to Lone Survivor Foundation, Special Operations Warriors Foundation, WWP and PVA I wanted to do more.
Having run my online business coaching firm for over 20 years and being an established Business Coach and WordPress Consultant, I was contacted on a regular basis by Veterans looking for help with their WordPress sites — and I had a really hard time charging them. It is my way, albeit a small one, to offer some payback!
Helping those, who due to their bravery and sacrifice I have been able to live the American Dream, is the least I can do.
Helping those who have served our Country!
This was created as a resource U.S. Military veterans to get the help and support they deserve when starting a new Website or Web business (sole-proprietors).
