Local Veteran Owned & Operated Brewery & Winery Developments and Revolutionary Support System

Hello,

My teammates and I chose to go into the wine and craft beer industry for the high profit margin, so that more Veterans could be employed and more money could fund the programs that are imperative to the training, transitions, recovery, and rehabilitation of Veterans and Wounded Warriors.  This vision was instilled as the greatest form of respect and honor for the sacrifice made by our fallen heroes, the highest evolution of warriorship, and the preservation of the Warrior Legacy.

Veteran owned and operated Valor Winery and Uncle Sam's Misguided Brewery solely hire Veterans, supports job transition, and uses this sustainable profit and business model to directly support combat veteran and wounded warrior wilderness rehabilitation, equine-assisted therapy, a hunt & fish series, wheelchairs for disabled Veterans and warriors for adaptive sports and activities, and effective PTSD therapy treatment.

This year, we are developing a ranch (which has a documentary attached) for Veterans, Warriors & Wounded Warriors. "Valor Ranch" has a self-sustaining farm, vineyard, orchard, gardens, stables, training & wellness center, forge, classrooms (for learning about viticulture, self-sustaining business, living and farming), and a trail system through open areas and riparian forests.

We also have two prototypes in development - one of which is the Invictus Knife Series - Knives that honor the evolution and sacrifice of warriors, and embody the forging and reforging of warriorship and military service on this path. Knives to be drawn with reason and sheathed with honor.

Another is NASA nanotechnology rehabilitation sleepwear, recovery and training apparel (especially for PTSD treatment).  I have successfully communicated with the lead scientist at NASA in co-developing this with the benefit to NASA of assisting their astronauts with recovering and rehabilitating post mission.  We can patent and get these developments in production while testing their effectiveness and benefits through our rehabilitation programs.

We invite you to call and visit us for a wine or beer tasting, and to check out what we are doing through our facebook pages and websites.  Thank you for your support.

Stay Strong & Overcome All,
