Welcome Home Troops Rocks IMA Conference
LAS VEGAS, NV, - Flanked by American flags and joined by veterans on stage, Sue Rebar, leader of the veteran’s service organization Welcome Home Troops, delivered an inspired – and inspiring – opening address at the recent Internet Marketing Association annual even in Las Vegas.
Following IMA chair Sinan Kanatsiz’s resounding welcome to the nearly 900 IMPACT16 event attenders, Rebar spoke from her heart about the difficulties so many of our nation’s veterans face when they come home from overseas and how the organization can help be the voice or the needs of service members.
The performance by Jamilex Rodriguez of ‘The Star Spangled Banner” and the presence on stage of veterans who have served so bravely truly moved attendees, many of whom spoke to Rebar afterwards to find out how to support Welcome Home Troops.
“The people I met, the information I received, the joy I felt at IMPACT16 in Las Vegas was astonishing,” Rebar said. “We were so honored to be part of the conference and we met so many people and organizations that wanted to help our veterans it was truly fantastic!”
Numerous firms and individuals met with Rebar at the event to discuss supporting Welcome Home Troops and she particularly noted how Kanatsiz has helped the organization “capture its vision” and to share that vision with others.
“I cannot thank the IMA enough for the opportunity to not only participate in the event but to actually help lead it.” Rebar said. “We will stay close to the IMA forever!”

Finding Community and Camaraderie with Welcome Home Troops
At Welcome Home Troops, we believe that community is more than just a word – it's the cornerstone of our mission. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment for veterans and their families, where they can feel connected, valued, and understood.
More Than Just Tickets: Building Relationships
When a veteran, like Zachary Bodek, requests a ticket to an upcoming event (like the exciting NASCAR race!), we don't just hand it over. We see it as an opportunity to foster deeper connections.
Zachary initially requested a single ticket. Our Founder, Sue Rebar, recognized a chance to build community. She reached out to Zachary to explore the possibility of bringing a friend or family member along.
Imagine Zachary's surprise when Sue contacted him on his wedding day! With a little luck and perfect timing, Welcome Home Troops was able to offer Zachary and his new wife a pair of infield tickets to the NASCAR race.
This personal touch exemplifies our commitment to individualized support. We believe in going the extra mile to ensure that each veteran feels valued and that their unique needs are addressed.
Building Community Together: Pre-Race Tailgates
To further strengthen the bonds within our community, we host pre-race tailgate parties. These events offer a relaxed and social atmosphere where veterans and their families can connect, enjoy free food and beverages, and engage in fun activities before the race begins.
