More than 200,000 servicemembers transition to civilian life each year, according to the Department of Defense.

Only one in four U.S. veterans have a job lined up after leaving the armed forces, according to the Pew Research Center.

And this isn’t unique to military servicemembers - from 2020 to 2022, the number of local law enforcement employees decreased by 4%.

At Defenders Gateway, our mission is to develop and grow a national network of businesses and organizations that commit to supporting our Active-Duty Military, Veterans, all First Responders, and their Families.

Our Defenders Gateway App is a resource hub that empowers our national heroes with access to job listings, business opportunities, retail incentives, and more!
