WeSalute’s mission, which was launched on President’s Day 2000 to deliver greater respect to U.S. active-duty, military veterans, and their families, has recently expanded its work to recognize and reward a broader community of heroes. The newly expanded WeSalute Community now includes Nurses, First Responders, Medical Professionals, Civil Servants, Teachers, and Students, the next generation of service workers.

As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), WeSalute is all about enhancing the lives of those who serve, but not through charity or a ‘hand out’. WeSalute is committed to delivering the respect, recognition and financial empowerment of those who serve through the powerful economic advantages of WeSalute. The new WeSalute Travel builds on this legacy of commitment, contributing to the strength of WeSalute’s “Invisible Hand” effect, which ultimately generates societal dividends far beyond the everyday benefits that have been conferred.

“WeSalute is more than its benefits; it is a community that understands the challenges and sacrifices inherent in a life of service, and provides greater recognition and respect for those who serve,” Higgins added. Members can rely on expertly curated private offers, VIP Member Support, and unlimited consultations with live U.S.-based WeSalute Personal Benefits Specialists.

WeSalute’s Pledge for Privacy & Data Security

Unlike many free discount consumer plug-ins, WeSalute operates as a registered Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) – just like AI leaders Anthropic and OpenAI – and utilizes a proprietary, privacy-enhanced service verification system.

WeSalute cross-references official government and authoritative databases to verify eligibility to receive benefits, eliminating the need for members to share or upload sensitive discharge documents like Form DD-214. Furthermore, once verified, WeSalute deletes any sensitive records, and since inception, has adhered to its strict WeSalute policy to never sell member data to third-party advertisers.

WeSalute’s service verification, built on a stellar 25 year record of outstanding processes and success, ensures that offers only reach those who are most deserving of these benefits, while at the same time, protecting member privacy, and fostering trust with WeSalute partners that their special offers for those who serve will be protected from fraud or dilution.
