Reuniting The Brave

We reunite service members so their bonds may be reignited and celebrated throughout their lives. Military units and their loved ones become one big family, forming a connection unlike any other. When these bonds evolve from the battlefield to civilian life, nourishing these relationships helps make peace with the past, build support for the present, and gain hope for the future.

Reconnecting After Service

When combat units serve together, they become a family. Yet, they often lose touch as they transition to civilian life.

Reuniting The Brave

“It’s hard to describe.”

But I felt a sense of unity and comradery that I have been missing and looking for since I left the service. It was very good for my soul.

Reuniting The Brave

“Hopefully I was worthy.”

In the last 10 years, hopefully I was worthy of the effort - not only of Bernie but also his crew - to put their lives on the line to come save me. I thought about that everyday, to be an engaged father, husband, and to pay it forward.
