OUR STORY
LIVE WITH HONOR, INC. was founded by a military family from Portage County, Ohio in honor of CPT (RET) Jordan Ray. His wife, Dia, and their son Zach created LIVE WITH HONOR, INC., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, in July of 2023 to help other injured or wounded service members and veterans, along with their families, by providing resources to find various local, state, and federal benefits, compensation, and discounts.
Jordan served honorably for 13 years with the Ohio Army National Guard and as an active duty officer through various overseas combat deployments. But due to multiple service connected injuries, Jordan came home broken (both physically and mentally). He was medically retired in 2015 and has had multiple shoulder, wrist and back surgeries since then. Jordan also suffers from PTSD related to his time in service. Having served for so many years, he came home not knowing who he truly was any more. Our family has spent many years supporting Jordan, often at the sacrifice of our own mental and emotional wellness, but together we’ve navigated the Veteran’s Administration (VA) network to find the health care, mental health support, and various other benefits we earned through Jordan’s service and sacrifice. Our mission, as his family and in his honor, is to help Jordan continue living with purpose as a husband and a father. Serving other injured or wounded service members and veterans to receive the compensation and benefits they have more than earned has become our mission. With the help of various benefits and compensation, all those injured or wounded during their time in-service can focus on healing knowing their families are taken care of with as many benefits and compensation we can help find.
It is our mission through LIVE WITH HONOR, INC. to help those injured or wounded service members that do not know where to begin with filing for disability rating increases or apply for and be awarded Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC), Special Monthly Compensation (SMC), health care benefits, education benefits, spouse and dependent benefits, homestead exemptions, and so many more. It is our mission to empower, educate, and assist those service members and veterans, along with their families, so they may receive the greatly needed and rightfully earned compensation and benefits from local, state, and federal agencies. You all served honorably and now you can live with honor knowing you, and your family or dependents, are fully compensated and awarded the benefits you earned.
If you, or someone you love, was injured or wounded serving in the U.S. military, please reach out so we can discuss where you are in the process, if you think your rating should be higher with your disability claim, or to find out about local or state benefits you have earned.
As a non-profit, charitable organization our services are FREE when we educate and assist you with forms, administrative red-tape, and appeals to social security or the VA.
All our love and support,
The Ray Family
