This is truly a stand-alone organization. No matter the issue, if it affects/involves our combat wounded, ill and injured troops and veterans, we are there. SSFOA does not hesitate to take on the tough stuff ... witnessed by our stance and action about combat PTS (Drop the 'D' and lend a hand) and our Prayer Blanket program for veterans in Hospice care. Everything we accomplish is by an all volunteer force so that the maximum amount goes to our programs and 'our kids'.

SSFOA is the only organization to formally recognize all the consequences of combat. We are not afraid of taking on the difficult jobs that other groups shy away from. We are there for our wounded warriors and veterans until they leave us for their final duty station.

I've been a member of SSFOA since August, 2007. I found the group by accident, yet very soon realized that I had found a home. I have been involved with military support activities for 30+ years and this group is like none other. SSFOA recognizes, honors and remembers those who have freely given so much of themselves to this country, to us. This organization is the only one to recognize the consequences of serving in a combat zone, whether those affects are seen or unseen; for all branches of service; from all wars. Being on various committees and on the BoD with this group, I can assure folks that SSFOA's mission is at the heart of group, literally and figuratively. If it is something that affects our troops and veterans and is within the realm of our mission, we're involved. You won't hear "Why?" with this group. You hear "What can we do?" and "How can we get it done?"
