Stichting Onbekende Helden is an organization that originated from the business community as a practical expression of appreciation for our veterans who have committed themselves to global peace, security and national freedom. A veteran is a (former) soldier who has served under war conditions and/or has been deployed abroad for one or more peace operations. This soldier can have served in any branch of the armed forces and have been deployed both in detachment or individually. The veterans deserve this appreciation in the form of a discount with a veteran pass or support in finding a job.
