Independence Fund CEO Uses Personal Experience As Motivation for Improving Assis
It’s rare that we get the opportunity to talk with someone who’s life has taken the full arc of going from a family in need, to leading the very non-profit dedicated to helping those families. In this episode of the Proud American podcast, Marine Corps Veteran and host Johnny Joey Jones introduces us to the CEO of the Independence Fund, Sarah Verardo. After seeing the gaps in care and assistance offered to her husband, a severely wounded soldier, Sarah began as a volunteer for Independence Fund and was eventually selected as its first CEO. Now she works with wounded veterans, caregivers, corporations, communities and Congress to ensure our heroes and their families get the support they need.

Nonprofit Luke's Wings Provides the Resources Necessary To Reunite Heroes and Their Families
This month, November, starts my favorite time of year. The holiday season. And not just because I get to eat all my favorite foods, but because I get to spend time with all my favorite people. For most Americans, this means thanksgiving and Christmas, but for me and those who have served, it starts with Veterans day. So for this podcast, I wanted to bring on someone who’s connected these holidays in a way that’s truly a Proud American tradition. Washington D.C. native and businessman Fletcher Gill is the founder of Luke’s Wings, a nonprofit that provides complimentary travel planning and travel tickets to wounded warriors, special operators, veterans in hospice care, and fallen officers to reunite heroes and their families, especially during the holiday season. Fletcher joins the podcast today.
