Host an event

Be the reason help shows up in your hometown

Some towns wait for change. Yours could be the one that makes it happen. When you host an Operation Honor: Rural Salute® event, you open the doors for veterans to be seen, served and celebrated, right in their own backyard.

How it works

We bring the mission. You bring the heart.

We're looking for local heroes, not in uniform this time, but boots on the ground, willing to raise their hand and say: bring it here, we'll show up.

We bring

  • Top-tier veteran resource providers
  • Mental health support, housing help and career connections
  • Vendors, food, community, and that good kind of chaos that feels like hope
  • All the logistics: setup, teardown and everything in between

You bring

  • A welcoming location: a church hall, community center, armory, school gym or fairground
  • Local contacts or organizations that can help spread the word
  • A community ready to rally around its veterans
Rural doesn't mean forgotten

Because of you

Rural veterans are more likely to be isolated, under-resourced and out of reach from traditional support. Hosting brings life-saving help right to them, without red tape, waitlists or long drives.

Custom event signage and promo materials

Plus a planning call with our national team.

Priority access to future OHRS initiatives in your area

And the respect and gratitude of the veterans and families in your own town.
