A Message from Dr. Ken Hartman, Founder and President

Dear Fellow Patriot,

I want to thank you personally for your support of Our Community Salutes-USA.

As an Army veteran, I know firsthand how your support makes an incredible impact on the nation’s newest and youngest patriots, as they transition into military service.

Our Community Salutes-USA (OCS) is a national non-profit organization dedicated solely to honoring the one-percent of all high school seniors who decide to enlist into the U.S. Armed Services following graduation.

Over the past 15 years, OCS has honored thousands of graduating high school seniors at OCS community based ceremonies across the nation. Thanks to you and our supporters, OCS can help our new high school enlistees (and their parents) begin their military journey.

Because of you, we are able to:

  • Conduct on-site and virtual OCS High School Enlistee Recognition Ceremonies that have made a significant difference for so many student-enlistees and their families in communities across the country, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

  • Produce and broadcast “America Salutes”, an annual star-studded national virtual ceremony to honor all of the 150,000 high school seniors enlistees who each year put service to others before themselves.

  • Create a national Virtual Thank You Card to enable all Americans the opportunity to express their appreciation to our nation’s military-bound high school seniors and their parents/guardians.

  • Introduce OCS Connect™, a free online resource for new high school enlistees and their parents on topics like money management and early college/career planning.

Can you help us continue that support with a small donation? Please consider making a monthly donation of $10, $15, $20 or more.

Your support will allow OCS to continue our mission of honoring and providing services to our nation’s graduating high school seniors enlisting into the military.

Thank you, on behalf of our nation’s newest and youngest patriots.
