Jack Hammond

It was an honor to be recognized by the @RIHouseofReps for the amazing work being performed by @homebaseprogram !

Rep. Stephen Casey had a special guest at yesterday's House session: retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Jack Hammond, Chief Executive of @homebaseprogram, a national nonprofit dedicated to healing the invisible wounds of war for veterans of all eras, service members, and military Families. Rep. Casey and Speaker @JoeShekarchi thanked Brig. Gen. Hammond for his service. Rep. Casey also presented Brig. Gen. Hammond with a citation in appreciation: webserver.rilegislature.gov/BillText/BillT… Brig. Gen. Hammond served on multiple combat commands and is a decorated combat leader and private sector innovator who has served on advisory groups for presidents, governors and businesses. Home Base, in partnership with the @RedSox and @MassGeneralNews, offers free services and health care to veterans.

I loved listening to stories about my great-great-great grandfather, who enlisted in the Union Army at just 16 years old. Respect for our veterans is important to my family, and it’s something I’ll pass down to the next generation. It was an honor to sign the HERO Act today.

"There are 3 million U.S. veterans who are women today, and a lot of times they go unnoticed." Brigadier General (ret.) Jack Hammond on honoring female veterans, and @homebaseprogram's mission to raise funds to help veterans impacted by the invisible wounds of war.

(1/3) We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Jack Connors, our esteemed former Board Chair. As a founding member of Home Base’s Board of Overseers, Jack served as Co-chair for over a decade, exemplifying steadfast leadership and mentorship.
