American Independence Center is “To engage, educate and excite people of all ages, to understand and celebrate the American struggle for freedom and self-governance and to preserve and share our buildings, grounds and collection so they will be an inspiration for generations to come.” Beginning in 2023, AIM introduced its “We Are One” theme as it prepares for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776. “We Are One” reflects the ideal made implicit in the U.S. Constitution that all voices and all perspectives matter to the health, welfare, progress and survival of our great nation.

Hero Pups is a New Hampshire-based, non-profit organization that pairs support dogs with veterans and first responders throughout New England who have been diagnosed with service-related psychological challenges. Laura Barker founded the organization after her son was wounded in Afghanistan. Hero Pups was founded on the belief that since our Heroes have already given so much, it’s the least we can do to provide them with a companion to help them lead a happier life, free of charge. Hero Pups received 501(c)(3) status in 2016. Our program is headquartered on 50-acres of private, rent-free land in New Hampshire. Before our program’s second anniversary, community members, local businesses, and volunteers came together to make our kennel building and quarantine zone for incoming dogs possible. And by our fourth anniversary in 2020, our sponsors and volunteers helped to turn an existing building into a training building. This included new flooring, insulation, garage doors, and furnace repairs. Our facility is not excessive, but the dogs have everything they could need and are very comfortable. Hero Pups will use 100 percent of funds to acquire, train, and pair dogs with veterans and first responders with service-related traumatic challenges to increase their independence and peace of mind.
