The Military Salute Project was founded in 2003 by a group of disabled Vietnam Veterans to support America's Armed Forces, past and present. They do not solicit or accept donations. They work extensively with projects relating to the War On Terror Veterans and Fallen Military Personnel.

They have been a financial and moral supporter of USMHC.
