Making a Difference in the Lives of Our Veterans
Every day American soldiers sacrifice on the front lines to keep our country safe and our freedom intact. Often their heroics go unrecognized even though American citizens benefit daily from the dedication these soldiers give to their job. When military personal return from service in a combat arena, it is often difficult for them to assimilate into society and connect with others. The intent of Operation Patriots FOB is to serve hundreds of Veterans and their families each year through life-saving programs which foster positive experiences for Combat Veterans by connecting through outdoor and recreational activities. This helps each member discover exciting opportunities that open the door to a fresh new mindset and outlook on life. It’s an opportunity for Veterans to get away from the world and connect with other like-minded Veterans in a safe and relaxing environment.
