Veteran-Owned Business Expands Inside VA Hospital — Partnerships on the Horizon

HOUSTON, TX — A major move is unfolding inside the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, and it’s coming from a Texas Veterans Commission-certified, veteran-owned business that’s turning certification into real-world impact.

LaMont “The Waterman” Gilbert, founder of Absolutely Amazing Alkaline H2O, is now operating a retail satellite location inside the VA hospital, serving veterans daily through his initiative, “Hydration for Heroes.”

What started as an opportunity has quickly turned into momentum.

During its recent activation, the operation experienced multiple sell-out days, signaling not only strong demand—but a deeper connection with the veteran community being served.

“This isn’t just about water,” Gilbert said. “It’s about presence, consistency, and making sure veterans have access to something better—right where they are.”

💧 From Certification to Execution

As a certified business through the Texas Veterans Commission, Gilbert has taken a step many never reach—moving beyond certification and into direct, daily service inside a federal facility.

The brand proudly displays its TVC certification badge at all activations, including its VA presence, reinforcing its commitment to credibility and service.

🚀 Expansion Already in Motion

With demand rising, the next phase is already underway.

Plans include:

• A mobile veteran hydration unit to expand reach beyond the VA
