A note from the founder:

My name is Theresa Walters I am the founder/CEO of US VET CONNECT INC. USVETCONNECT.COM.

I am a US Navy veteran who served aboard the USS Nimitz as an aviation mechanic for the EA6B Prowler from 2007-2010. I received an honorable medical discharge after an on-duty accident...

I love fishing, but I have struggled for years to find that sense of belonging from my time in service.

That’s why I am working on creating USVetConnect.com: these charities and organizations offer once in a lifetime outdoor adventures.  So My dream is to create an environment where veterans aren’t afraid to take a healthy risk and reach out after their dreams! The statistics of veteran suicide hurt my heart. I wanted to create a place that no matter what kind of outdoor activity you are into or where you are that veterans could find something they can do that is close to them. The hope is to inspire veterans to find adventure.

 

There is always hope.

There is something to look  forward to.

​

Get some veteran comradery back  into your life now!
