As a part of my responsibilities, I assist Disabled Veterans that are in that transitioning phase from active duty to becoming a civilian. Able Forces goes far beyond any organization that I have worked with in specifically helping these Veterans find the right kind of employment, using their skills attained while in the military, their interest, their aptitude… for many of these soldiers they have had different kinds of limitations placed on their abilities but rather than focus on disabilities we help them to use their abilities and continue to move forward. It is a huge boost to their self-esteem, their sense of belonging and making a difference. Thanks Able forces, sincerely, Mike

I am a Former Unite States Marine Corp Veteran, also a Wounded Warrior who was contacted by Skip Roger's Wanting to help me by employing me and getting me back on my feet.
I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the opportunity of working for Able Forces and getting me back on my feet and helping me with any troubles or anything I needed. I worked for Skip about 8 months before Moving on to a federal position, which I wouldn't have been able to do with out working for him first.
This Organization is beyond Amazing and is truly there for it's Nation's Veterans.

I am the Wounded Warrior Employment Program Manager in the national Capitol area but my reach extends Nation wide. I have worked with "Able Forces" for quite a few years now and I will say that they bend over "Backwards" to employ our Veterans. Skip Rogers has changed the lives of so many of our Marine Warriors and there family's from coast to coast. Keep doing what you are doing, it's a joy to have an Organization such as this one that assists Veteran. I will continue our Partnership "Forever". S/F Gary Simpson USMC Ret

I have been involved with Able Forces since its inception and have been impressed by the dedication of its leadership to its mission. Skip Rogers and his team selflessly dedicate their lives to this important cause, working tirelessly over nights and weekends to promote their message, raise public awareness of their mission, and most importantly put disabled veterans to work performing impactful work. The growth of Able Forces over the past several years testifies to the organization's strong leadership and vision and I anticipate continued growth and success in the future.

I was lucky enough to have met Mr. Rogers and his staff over the past year. I've been to their Front Royal headquarters and have seen the fantastic facilities they have created in order to serve the wounded warriors in the D.C. area. Everyone has been passionate about taking care of the Soldier and setting them up for success by assisting them in transitioning into the civilian environment. I am in the wounded warrior project but I'm still in the transitional phase of processing out. Mr. Rogers and his wife personally visited me and educated me on what they had to offer and how I could be integrated into their program. My wife and I were invited to meet the staff of Able Forces Inc and found a bunch of people who cared for nothing less than to take care of injured veterans.
To the person I was impressed with their passion and commitment to take care of wounded warriors. To me it seems that they have written passion and commitment into their business model and have kept that emphasis as their top priority in their service to the Soldier. To understand how dedicated this team is all you have to do is visit them one time.

The US Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment has worked with Able Forces over the last 2 years to assist wounded warriors transition from military to civilian life. Able Forces' commitment and dedication to assisting wounded warriors is beyond reproach. The staff displays a level of compassion that exemplifies what organizations should exhibit when delivering services to our wounded warriors. Recently, Able Forces contacted the Regiment regarding a Marine veteran in the Huntville, AL area who was desparately in need of assistance. Due to Able Forces' determined outreach and collaborative efforts, this Marine was provided with valuable resources to assist him through a chalenging hardship period.

I have worked with members of the Able Forces, Inc, especially Skip and Joe who are veterans themselves, they have always extended themselves to make sure that the veterans, disabled veterans or anyone that they have come to them seeking thier advice have all the knowledge and attention that is so needed when you are dealing with a person that has been through so much in their lives and now have to make the changes within themselves and for their famuilies and now that they can have a fresh start maybe within a field that they always wanted to persue but never had the opportunity. I feel very honored and blessed to know these fine people. You have my commendation as truly professional persons.

Thank you Able Forces for all you do, and I hope you continue to support our veterans.

I have found Able Forces to be an extremely professional and well run organization. They go above and beyond to get wounded warriors placed into meaningful jobs. By meaningful, I mean jobs that pay well, have room for professional growth, and that build on the wounded warriors military experience. Whenever I have referred a veteran to Able Forces they always promptly answer with a 'what can we do to help' response. Skip and his team are great to work with. They are by far one of the better non-profit organiziations serving veterans.
