Honor Courage Commitment Information

Mission: Empowering veterans to define their next mission through education, mentorship, and community service. HCC’s objective is to empower the best and brightest military talent in the D/FW area. Through training and mentoring, the organization equips veterans to redefine their since of purpose. Over 380,000 veterans currently live in the 13 counties which comprise the North Texas region, and as a nation, the public expense to train and develop these service men and women as the greatest military personnel in the world costs the U.S. billions of dollars. At HCC, we return the societal investment in military service members by integrating veteran talent into local economies as business owners, community leaders, and professionals. The goal is to produce veteran leaders for the civilian sector, as well as generate more jobs and support more programs for the 240,000 - 300,000 veterans who transition out of military service annually. As of the end of 2016, 60 veterans have attended HCC’s veteran entrepreneurship courses. Thirty veteran-owned businesses have been formed or assisted as a result of the class, in addition to six non-profit organizations. In 2015, HCC businesses created over $1,100,000 in revenue and employed over 100 individuals in North Texas. This is a measurable impact to the local economy and a great launching point for the 2017 vision.
