ANDREA POLITTE BIOGRAPHY prepared by SARAH WHITE

Andrea Politte is a 1982 graduate of Herculaneum High School and has graduated at least ten (10) years ago. Her leadership is evident with 30+ years of experience managing, owning, & operating businesses. Her character and achievement (during high school and/or post high school) are witnessed from a range of activities and awards received throughout her life, from winning Homecoming Queen to becoming President and Owner of an important non-profit foundation giving back to her community. She has the suitability as a role model with strong patriotic qualities believing in Honor, Respect, Healing, & Wellness most especially for Military, Veterans, & First Responders. Her career description and notable achievements outlined in this biography make Andrea worthy of induction into the Blackcat Hall of Fame.

Andrea Politte is a patriotic mother of a three-times combat-war-wounded U.S. Marine Corps son with extreme PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), Parkinson’s Disease, and other injuries affecting the rest of his life. Her son's dedicated time in service inspired Andrea to create a special place FORE HONOR, RESPECT, HEALING, & WELLNESS that promotes both individual and community health and well- being every day, especially for those who serve and live with PTSD and TBI, and to raise awareness to the community of PTSD and its damaging effects when left untreated. Andrea Politte founded The Fore Honor Foundation in 2014. She is the daughter of a very patriotic father, proud mother 2 amazing sons, her eldest, the combat disabled & now medically retired veteran with PTSD & TBI chronic extreme and other life altering injuries sustained He is the owner of Elite Lawn Scapes. Andrea's youngest son is a talented graphics IT lead, audio engineer & web designer of Elite Web Scapes & Very proud of his older brother and all family who have served. Andrea created Deer Creek USA - Fore Honor Golf & Event Center & Foundation to help provide Healing and Wellness for PTSD for our Veterans and First Responders and to remind us to be grateful and remember ALL who are willing to put their life on the line every day to protect and defend each of us and our freedoms. Her son never completely left Iraq. He brought it home. His lungs are diminished from inhaling helicopter exhaust. He has hearing loss, brain trauma and early signs of Parkinson’s from those many harrowing assignments and hard landings. Like so many veterans, he deals with the demons his experience planted, the sight of unspeakable things, the words of dying young men. But duty and honor have been a way of life in the family. Andrea Politte’s father, Donald Green, worked on B-52 bombers during the 1950s. Her sister, Gabriel Crocker, worked on guided missiles and also is a disabled veteran.

Andrea is also inspired to help by many additional family and friends who have served during war and non-war times including a sister who is a Disabled Army Sgt Veteran. We are open to the public and invite you to play golf or book events to help us support our Mission and Vision of Honor Respect, Healing and Wellness to help us Honor & Heal those who serve and sacrifice.

After the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Andrea helped raise money for the and Port Authority and police departments. When Hurricane Irene hit in 2011, she volunteered for the Red Cross, helping victims in New Jersey get food and shelter. She also has worked with Michael Reagan’s Fallen Heroes Project. This isn’t a talk, this is a walk. “My dad always taught us to respect and honor the flag and what it stands for, to be grateful every day for the people who sacrifice,” Politte said.

In 2005 to present, she has been an official national spokesperson and board member for the Fallen Heroes Project, with a mission to honor the American Fallen Heroes for their ultimate sacrifice during the war against terrorism.

Andrea volunteered with Camp Hope from 2007 until 2013. Camp Hope was established in 2007, located 70 miles south of St. Louis in the plush land of Farmington, MO. One hundred and seventy acres of beautiful rolling hills and hardwood ridges made available to veterans for their year round enjoyment, recovery, and well being. Camp Hope is located in an area that has a lot to offer American Veterans.

Andrea Politte wants to make honoring fallen heroes, military veterans and emergency responders an everyday occurrence, a recreational exercise. She is trying to turn Fore Honor Golf & Event Center, formerly Deer Creek USA, into a therapeutic place for those who serve, a place of pride and awareness for those who benefit, a place of honor; and a place to serve those who serve others.

When she saw the golf course she currently operates, a seed planted in the back of her mind blossomed into a vision to make history. She asked the owners to let her purchase the property to create the first all-honors course in history where you honor all those who served, protected and sacrificed, where they can feel at home surrounded by like minds and like hearts where they can be safe and heal. People in the community can come enjoy the property, play golf and show support to those heroes.

As Politte puts it, “What better connection than to be playing golf on a course that honors those who make it possible, to remind you the reason you’re here is because somebody’s got your back?”

She took ownership on Dec. 30, 2013, with big plans that call for big efforts. She wants each tee box to pay tribute to a different branch of the military and emergency responders. She wants to put commemorative statuary and patriotic presentations throughout the property. She wants to dedicate space in the expansive clubhouse to therapeutic and wellness services for those who served.

Politte — all 5-feet-1½, 105 pounds of her — has not given up on her honors course, either. But she needs help. She needs support from the community, sponsorships, capital, investors. She needs others to embrace the spirit of her endeavor. She has started the Fore Honors Foundation, not only to support her concept, but to support other organizations providing discounted services, activities and programs for those affected by post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.

Her foundation recently was granted not-for-profit status, so donations can be tax exempt. For the last 4 years, Andrea has never charged veterans or first-responders greens fees. Currently, Politte has to charge a cart fee because she is leasing the carts. She has awarded $70,000 over the last 4 years in free green fees to Honor Members, all who are Military, Veterans, or First Responders.

Politte has had support from family and friends, people who have donated time and skills to make improvements, to help with services. She can only afford a paid staff of four. The needs still easily exceed the haves.

She has not had a paycheck since she started. She has exhausted her savings in equipment and materials. All she has left is her car, her irrepressible energy and her unshakeable faith. She’s not about to stand down. “If those who have served can put their lives on the line, I can put my savings on the line,” Politte said. “I’m dedicated to the mission, just like they are. I have to work in faith. I have to do what I feel I’m supposed to be doing. This is supposed to be.” It’s about duty. It’s about honor.

Since founding the Non-Profit Fore Honor Foundation in 2014, Andrea has successfully built reputations with and collaborated with the following like-minded persons and organizations with fundraising efforts and both on-site/off-site fairs or events to benefit Military, Veterans & First Emergency Responders: AMVETS Post 42 Annual Weekly League, Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association Annual Meetings and Christmas Party, Camp Hope Fundraising Tournaments with Image Realty, MOVE-UP, St. Louis Veterans Center Access Point Office Fundraising Events and Donated Office Space, VFW District 8 - H.O.P.E.
