After Hire Heroes USA founder John Bardis met veteran Justin Callahan - who lost a leg when he served in Afghanistan - playing basketball, he got the idea to start Hire Heroes USA.

Hire Heroes USA's mission is to provide career placement assistance to returning service men and women, and the program specializes in the placement of those injured or with any level of disability. Created in 2007, the program works with hundreds of veterans and pairs about eight to ten veterans each month with jobs. The group serves veterans from all branches of the military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Reservists and Coast Guard.
