Semper Cares

Giving Back to Those Who Have Served

The Semper Cares Initiative was founded to provide relief to veterans from high energy costs by awarding them with the security of energy independence. We need the public to help identify these warriors to tell their stories and make a difference in their lives.

Watch the latest media coverage about Vietnam veteran 

Vietnam veteran receives solar gift, finds honor in new generation's gratitude. CBS 8's Abbie Black reports on a Marine veteran's gift of 15 solar panels for his Golden Hill home.

"It was 1985 I was in the jungle of the Philippines and we all decided at that time if we could ever help a marine out whether you could buy them a beer in a bar or whether you can offer them a job. Fast forward 30 years…we came up with Semper Cares."

Charles Cedillo, a Vietnam War veteran, served with distinction in the United States Marine Corps for over three and a half years. His dedication to his country is paralleled by his deep commitment to his family. After his service, Charles raised two sons and two daughters, fostering a close-knit and loving family environment. His role as a father is one of immense pride and responsibility, and he continues to be a source of strength and support for his children. Today, Charles provides unwavering care for his oldest daughter, who faces significant health challenges. Despite the challenges life has presented, Charles remains a pillar of support, always putting his family first. As a grandfather, his love and involvement in his family's lives are clear reflections of his enduring character. This recognition through Project Yankee honors Charles Cedillo not only for his military service but also for his lifelong dedication to those he loves.

Jerry Nuanez
Watch Video

This Independence Day, Semper Solaris is honoring their 24th Semper Cares recipient, Jerry Nuanez, for Project X-Ray. Serving in the Marine Corps, Jerry served a tour in Vietnam as a tank crewman, he also did 6 months of temporary duty as Military Police.

Because of Agent Orange, he has unfortunately suffered many health issues along the road. However, this has not slowed him down. He has been a hardworking veteran, raising 3 sons and has been their rock. He has also seen one of his grandsons follow in his footsteps and become a Marine himself. Active in his local community, he coaches youth in Pop Warner football, little league, baseball, and softball. It is with great pride that Semper Solaris donates a brand new HVAC unit to Mr. Nuanez this Independence Day.

We are grateful for his service to this country.

Warrior Foundation
Watch Video

This Memorial Day, Semper Solaris completed it's 23rd Semper Cares Initiative, Project Whiskey. This mission, Warrior Foundation's Freedom Station 3 was the recipient of 12 new roofs. The Warrior Foundation's initiative allows them to welcome more Warriors, learn about their invaluable service, and provide them with much-needed relief. Each Freedom Station, while unique, shares the common goal of ensuring that our Warriors are well cared for, valued, and supported as they transition into a new life. By contributing new roofs, Semper Solaris aims to provide a safe and comfortable environment, helping these brave men and women grow and succeed during their recovery process. With the addition of Freedom Station III, they will have even more space to accommodate Warriors, ensuring they have a secure place to heal and rebuild. The new roofs are just one part of creating a haven where Warriors can find stability and solace. This project is not just about buildings but about building futures. Semper Solaris is honored to play a role in their journey toward recovery and reintegration, continuing our mission to ensure every Warrior feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed in their new life.
