We lose more heroes to suicide than on the battlefield or in the line of duty. Operation Patriots FOB is changing that story.
“I spent a lifetime in competitive sports, and I can tell you the mindset it takes to compete at the highest level is nothing compared to the challenges our veterans face returning home. They served. They sacrificed. And now, too many fight battles we can’t see.”
– Stan Smith, former world #1 tennis player, 2x Grand Slam champion, proud US Army veteran
Your support is vital. Just $22/month gives veterans and first responders the chance to reconnect, rediscover purpose, and find hope again. Every dollar keeps our programs 100% free for those who’ve already given everything.
They stood for us. It’s our turn to stand for them.
“Thank you for never forgetting first responders or veterans. Everyday we try to live a normal life with our families and friends but sometimes its not enough, and that is were OPFOB steps in and offers many types of services. Thank you and I hope you continue to grow and expand."
- NYPD Police Officer, 911 First Responder
