Since 2012 the mission of the Veterans Emergency Response Unit (now in conjunction with the US Veterans Hall of Fame) has been to go to our damaged communities and give them hope.
Our rescue efforts, starting with Hurricane Sandy, have been done accurately and with only good intent.
We will always conduct ourselves as professionals and treat victims with care, God's love and compassion as we administer supplies, relief and tactical rescue measures.
