Veteran Culture Defines Heirloom

November 11, 2021

It's Called Military 'Service'

Veterans know how to serve.  They're defined by their selfless military duty.  Many risk their lives and deploy to hostile areas in defense of their country.  Service members leave behind spouses, children, and their favorite possessions.  They join forces to serve a cause much greater than their own desires.  Some never return, many return with physical and mental wounds, but veterans never regret fighting for the freedoms that define their nation.

Heirloom is a Business Operated by Veterans

The veteran culture defines Heirloom.  We embrace the concept of service above self.  We've been granted a sacred trust and we safeguard valuable assets.  We run to the problem instead of pushing it aside.  We take calculated risks when they lead to a greater good.  We accept responsibilities for our actions.  We hold team members accountable.  We know what it means to lose a friend, and we rejoice when families are reunited.

The United States Small Business Administration understands the powerful effect of veterans to America's economic engine.  Over 2 million small businesses are owned by veterans.  Veteran owned businesses produce $1.14 trillion in annual revenues and employ 5.03 million workers.  Except for their military service, these veterans are much like you.  They're moms & dads, brothers & sisters, neighbors, and friends.  Supporting veteran run small businesses feels good, but there's another reason many consumers keep coming back.  That's because veterans know how to serve.

How Heirloom Serves
Cluttered Boxes on a Moving Truck


Heirloom was born out of a problem common to most military families... time to move again.  This normally means precious memories sealed in boxes, sometimes in storage for years.  Founded by a military family, Heirloom solved this disconnectedness problem.  With digitized memories on the cloud, now it's easy to enjoy your photos and videos from any device.  When you call Heirloom, you're likely speaking with a veteran, or the relative of a service member.  We understand the apprehension from temporarily parting with your precious possessions, and humbly accept the responsibility to preserve your priceless memories.  We also know the joy of reconnecting with family, and consider it our mission to continue serving you with our digitizing service.

Cadets at boot camp constantly shout:  "Discipline is the instant willing obedience to orders, respect for authority, and self reliance."  Discipline is trained so well, that a service member never forgets.  It takes discipline to defuse bombs, jump from planes, guard nuclear assets, or protect classified material.  It's not the same stress, but a similar discipline is required to carefully digitize your precious memories.  Further, digitizing millions of media items requires a team with skills much greater than those of one person.  Heirloom operates with discipline and the precision teamwork often found in small military units.
