First dollar of every bottle sold goes to select veterans’ charities.

Where does the first dollar of every bottle of Salute American Vodka sold go? Here!

Today, there are more than 20 million military veterans across the country. These brave men and women that defend our country make up less than one percent of the population.
There are hundreds of organizations nationwide that tirelessly work to assist veterans in their transition from military to civilian life.

Tax dollars are used to create government support programs, but regrettably, many of these programs fall short. That’s where Salute American Vodka steps in.

Salute American Vodka partners with the most committed nonprofit organizations that address the root causes and solutions to these unmet needs. Our Board of Directors established a committee led by our ambassador, Lieutenant General Ray Palumbo (US Army, retired), and developed a methodology to choose only the most capable and honorable veteran service organizations across America.

Salute American Vodka partners and patrons should take pride in the fact that every dollar per bottle purchased is going directly to make a positive impact in the veteran community, a community that deserves our support after their selfless sacrifices.

“By financially contributing to charities, such as Work Vessels for Vets and Boulder Crest Retreat, we are working together to fill the void in government support to help American heroes build financial stability, acquire jobs, secure housing and get the emotional and physical help that they deserve.” –General Palumbo

Work Vessels for Vets, Inc.

Work Vessels for Vets works to provide veterans with the necessary tools to transition from military to civilian careers or educational pursuits. By matching veterans’ needs with corporate and individual donors, this small but mighty charity provides the key piece of equipment to help vets achieve their dreams of self-employment while offering tax benefits to donors. By matching qualified veteran-entrepreneurs with donations of vessels, vehicles, equipment, tools, tractors, electronics and more, this award winning charity has donated equipment valued at over $1.5 million to more than 1,500 veteran enterprises all across America.
