why we serve
My First Visit to a Military Hospital Forever Changed Me
Germany 2003, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. I was nervous to meet these wounded service members. How should I greet them? How should I interact? Entering the first large room, there were many with less serious wounds who would be patched up and sent back to the war.
Never Forget The Heroes Braving Crisis & Crime
The Patients
Extended hospital stays are taxing on our heroes mentally, emotionally, and physically. We bring the stage to them for a day of music, food, and fun.
Their Families
Our festivals have something for every age, providing a safe space to create new memories and just be a family again.
Their Caregivers
Not only do we celebrate our severely wounded heroes, we’re also uplifting the dedicated nurturers who work around the clock to care for them.
Hospital Staff
These dedicated professionals give so much of their personal attention to our heroes, it’s our honor to extend America’s gratitude to them as well.
