General:
Support Our Military Heroes
is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization founded
in 2005 by Sam Mnatsakanian. Mr. Mnatsakanian originated the idea of
establishing an organization to assist soldiers and their families after
hearing of numerous news accounts of families who were experiencing major
financial setbacks because of the deaths or injuries of their loved ones
in Iraq and other locations throughout the world. His philosophy is based
on a memorable saying that his grandfather always shared with him:
“Tend your own garden first”.
Based upon that saying, Mr. Mnatsakanian believed that Americans should
help its own before we help those in other countries, and that we should
especially help our own American soldiers who have gone to combat for
their country and our freedom.
