The Nation of Patriots is an all-volunteer-powered nonprofit organization that honors those who protect American freedom by uniting Americans under the U.S. flag, said Bill Sherer, the Nation of Patriots’ founder and executive director. The Patriot Tour for Veterans is the organization’s primary fundraiser and 100% of its proceeds are donated to veterans in need as identified by Veterans Administration facilities and other veterans’ organizations across the country.

“It is critical that we see our mission through. Our administrative costs are covered by corporate sponsorship, so every dollar we raise goes directly to American veterans and their families,” Sherer said. “Nation of Patriots is dedicated to honoring our unique American freedom and those who defend it.”

Nearly $1.5 million has been raised through this grassroots effort since the Nation of Patriots’ inception in 2009.

“It’s a simple thing, passing a flag from one person to another, but on this scale it’s a massive effort that requires unity, passion, and purpose. It truly demonstrates how Americans can work as one towards a common goal. In doing so, we find ourselves standing on common ground free from all of the divisiveness that seems to surround us. This is true patriotism and it’s part of the design,” Sherer said.
