*Meet A Hero is a non-profit, non-partisan social awareness movement that encourages young Americans using “new media” to engage with vets and service members by saying “thanks.” Meet A Hero aims to bring American civilians closer to our vets and service members through awareness and education.

*We hope that you will join fellow Americans by saying “thanks” in your own way, and don’t forget to send us “Tweets” describing your experiences meeting heroes so we can encourage others to do the same!

* Check out news and other articles about our vets and servicemembers on our Facebook Fan Page and Facebook Group Page.

*Feel free to contact us at meetahero1776 at gmail dot com with any questions or comments.

*Meet A Hero would also like to thank Ben and Josh for all of their awesome help with the website.

*This website is dedicated to the memory of Maurice H. Tamkin, Flight Officer, 4th Emergency Rescue Squadron, Army of the United States (21 October 1944-8 July 1946), and to the other heroes who served with him.
