The Foundation for Exceptional Warriors is a national organization that launched in 2012.  

Our mission is to provide cost-free adventures for warriors who were wounded in Combat, Decorated for Valor, Special Operation Force and POW’s. Any era. Any conflict. 

Our events reward these warriors for their sacrifice, expand their horizons, break down barriers, provide peer to peer networking opportunities and decompression.  We have even reunited fellow warfighters who served together. 

We don’t do “charity”. These warriors have earned far more than we could ever hope to repay.

 

Last year we took over 435 Exceptional Warriors fishing, hunting, sky diving,  family outings and several other adventures.  

Our volunteers are made up of Exceptional Warriors from various branches and backgrounds.  We understand the struggle is real and make sure an experienced Associates attends every event. 

We  have a very tight-knit, dedicated core of non-military volunteers who are absolutely essential to what we do as well as phenomenal relationships with numerous organizations and businesses.

 

We are The FEW, supporting the few.

Suicide rates among veterans is reported by the VA at 22 each day and continues to increase.  A post deployment risk factor is not having the camaraderie of the brotherhood; being thrown back into “normal” life with daily struggles and demands, but now with triggers and those around having the same expectations pre-deployment and naive misunderstanding of consequential newly developed coping behaviors. The FEW understands that coming together around a campfire cannot be underestimated—no judgements—no pre-conceived expectations—and is a huge necessity for our Exceptional Warriors.
George Washington once said,

“A nation is judged by how well it treats its Veterans.”
