Fly Free To Your Job Interview!
Giving Something to Those Who Gave
Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) provides FREE event tickets to family members of troops Killed In Action (K.I.A.), our Military and Veterans to sporting events, concerts, performing arts and family activities.
Attending these events reduces stress through entertainment, strengthens family bonds, builds life long memories and encourages service members to stay engaged with American life and local communities.
Giving free event tickets is an expression of appreciation, acknowledgement and an enduring symbol that we, as a nation, honor the service of our troops today and long after their tour of duty has passed. Helping our veterans attend events provides positive family and life experiences after their years of service to our country.
Transitioning Veterans Fly Free For Job Interviews
Hire Our Heroes continues its commitment in positioning veterans for success by offering Transitioning Veterans the opportunity for a free round trip flight to their next out of state Job Interview.
“Hire Our Heroes (HOH) provides a free, round-trip ticket to transitioning veterans going on job interviews anywhere in the country that Southwest airlines flies.”
HOH will provide a free round trip airline ticket to any transitioning veteran interviewing to secure a job without the means to travel to and from the interview. The idea here is to support small to medium size businesses by allowing them to tap into an untapped market of talent that they might not typically have access to, due to budget constraints. In addition, this allows transitioning veterans the opportunity to interview and secure opportunities prior to making the final transition back into the civilian world.
HOH hopes that by providing these benefits to all transitioning veterans, the odds of securing employment are greatly increased. Please confirm your eligibility by clicking on the “Troop ID” logo at the top of this page and submit your credentials

The Veterans Career Transition Program, operated by the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University, is delivered at no cost to post-9/11 veterans, their spouses, and spouses of active duty military. Paid for in entirety by a grant from JPMorgan Chase & Co, VCTP offers solutions to the above challenges, as well as connections to specific education and training programs, business/industry coalitions focused on veteran employment and information about national and state-level opportunities and benefits for veterans and their families. The Professional Skills Track and the Tech Track are offered through an advisor-led group admitted quarterly, and the Independent Study Track is available for start at any time.
Suiting Warriors Foundation (SWF) provides transition assistance to honorably discharged men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces by professionally outfitting them in business attire needed to enter the civilian workforce – at zero cost to the Veteran. SWF is a ‘mobile concierge suiting service’ working with grass roots non-profits, government agencies, and national and local Veterans’ Service Organizations in order to connect Veterans and their families with an additional tool to allow for a successful transition into the civilian workforce.
