For over a century, Hilton has supported the military community. Most recently, we have welcomed thousands of veterans, military spouses and caregivers to our team through OPERATION: OPPORTUNITY, our award-winning, military veteran hiring initiative—the largest commitment in our industry. As a company founded by a military veteran, Hilton recognizes the importance of capturing the amazing anecdotes and stories service men and women and perpetuating their legacy for the generations to come.
Hilton is proud to support The Veterans Project and their mission to capture the warfighter spirit and establish an educational discourse for civilians who want to know what reintegration into polite society looks like. Transitioning to civilian life can be challenging and Hilton understands the importance of bridging the military/civilian divide. We strive to leverage all parts of our business to support the military community, from employment to community service to selecting veteran owned suppliers and more.
Veterans and Spouses are a natural fit at Hilton because of our shared values like leadership, integrity and teamwork. Join us or one of our franchise properties to put your skills to work.

Over the past four years, our founder Tim K. has driven over 70,000 miles in order to capture our veteran’s stories across the nation. Throughout those years, in order to direct as many personal savings as possible towards The Veterans Project, Tim slept in his car or relied upon the hospitality of loyal followers of the project, who’ve given him shelter for the night. Not anymore. Thanks to Hilton, he is now taken care of while on the road with accommodations covered by the hospitality company. We at The Veterans Project realize that without sponsors like Hilton this work is exponentially more difficult. Our partnership with the world-renowned hotelier allows Tim to rest easy knowing that in between projects, he will have access to speedy internet service, a top of the line complimentary breakfast, award-winning service and most importantly, a comfortable place to rest and prepare for his next story. Relationships with pro-veteran organizations like Hilton are essential to the greater mission of ensuring our veteran’s legacies are never forgotten.
