Secure America Now honors all of our nation’s veterans. Thank you to Elizabeth Heffner for submitting James Milligan to be featured in Secure America Now’s veteran recognition program: Home of the Free - Because of the Brave.


Elizabeth Heffner says,
"James is a retired Army Veteran who served overseas on several occasions. He is the most giving person I know. He suffers from PTSD, but he's working through his demons and I'm very proud of him for choosing to be a better man! He's always helping others in any way possible. He over tips at restaurants, he'll pay for someone's groceries at the store, he volunteers constantly, he not only gave up everything for his country but he still gives! He's incredibly gifted, works with youth as a referee, an umpire, and teaches defense classes. He's busy, and I believe he deserves recognition from us, those he fought to protect."
Thank you, James, for your service. Submit a veteran you know for recognition at our website, www.secureamericanow.org/veteran
