Paul Martin

President

This project was born out of the pain suffered by the loss of our son, a U.S. Marine, due to suicide. No one should go through this pain at the hands of PTSD. I will grow this corporation for many years to come to help as many post-military and their families in our local area.

Born and raised in Brevard County, this is where I chose to raise my family. I have always felt it is important to be active in the community in which we live and we should be responsible citizens. I have the utmost respect for the men and women who serve our country and it is my hope that by being part of this foundation, I can help with giving back to those who sacrifice so much to protect us all. We owe them so much gratitude and thanks.
