I was introduced to the Boot Campaign's mission in 2021 and have grown to deeply appreciate all they do for our Veterans. Getting to know those whose lives have been positively impacted by all the Boot Campaign offers gives me a true sense of gratitude for the commitment this team of professionals has to make a difference for those who gave so so much for our country. The Boot Campaign is exemplary, the very best in its kind, fostering mission driven results with every dollar that is donated. ~M.Riley
Boot Campaign offers health & wellness assistance, as well as showing gratitude to our military community through specially curated gifts to deserving families. Boot Campaign is independently audited annually, providing complete financial transparency.

I am honored to continue working with Boot Campaign to improve the lives of our military community through assessment of individual needs, followed by access to and funding for appropriate treatment. Boot Campaign's health and wellness program has helped hundreds of people regain their focus as they adapt to civilian life after service. Boot Campaign's Santa Boots program provides seasonal gratitude to deserving families that lasts throughout the year. And the timely YOU MATTER effort reminds those who serve(d) that they are appreciated by all of us. LaceUp America and show our military that we care.
I have been involved with "Boot Campaign" for roughly 6 years and it's has been a true blessing for not just me, but also my friends, and family. I have met some of the most magnificent people that have put their lives in harm's way to protect myself, my family, and my country. What a great organization this is and I look to continue to support them for as long as I'm on this earth. Their purpose hits home having come from a military family and knowing the sacrifices our military personnel must endure.
We were recently honor to volunteer for the Santa boot campaign. We and many other volunteers wrapped Christmas present for over 700 people that boot provided for military families this year. During this time we met several veterans that shared their recovery stories with us…how boot campaign helped them in so many ways to return to a productive life. Incredible people to know…
We feel Boot Campaign is a wonderful non-profit organization to be involved with. Each day they provide so much help to our veterans who will not be forgotten.
Without question incredible from the start and it/they keep getting better. As outstanding as Boot Campaign is, it's the people in the background that make it all come alive. You are treated like family by people who truly care. As soon as my first email hit my inbox and I received my first call. I felt like I was part of the Boot Campaign team. The care I have received has been some of the best ever. The follow ups and continuing care is without question the best. I have given their information to many veterans in need of help and support. Every one of them has had the same positive experience. Thank you Boot Campaign for all you do! Cruz
Boot Campaign is a legit VSO that truly cares. They understand the complexities of the struggles a veteran family faces, and are at the ready to provide excellent resources to match those challenges. Our family has experienced genuine care and support from this organization and we are forever grateful.
The Boot Campaign has made a huge positive impact on my life during my transition from 35 years of active duty military service into the civilian world. Ms. Amy Geforos and Dr. Jenny Howland have been there for me whenever I have reached out for help, advice or guidance without question or hesitation. The Boot Campaign has a motto of "You Matter" and I believe they honestly mean each word and truly care. I can't say enough good things about the Boot Campaign and especially the people that help make it a great organization.
Boot Campaign provided me with the care that I needed to live a fulfilling life after my military service and life events. I cannot say enough about the quality of care, compassion, and overall support of there entire team. I feel like my life has purpose again! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hands down the best organizations I have been around! They take everyone as an individuals and work with them to a personal level. Not only do they listen to what is going on in your life but they bring you in and treat you better then family! When they say they help with personalized and individual treatment they mean it. They do not have a one treatment fits all mentality. They look at each person and figure out how to best help them!
Definitely 5 star! They have helped me turn my life around and get back on a healing path! I can't wait to see what the future holds with the boot campaign!
I am a proud supporter of our US veterans and host a fundraiser annually to raise money and awareness for PTSD research and counseling.
After extensive research of my own, it made sense to partner with the Boot Campaign and ensure the funds we raise are maximized.
I’ve worked alongside the boot campaign for over a decade now and I’ve experienced first hand the distance they’re willing to go to support their mission of helping people.
I will never change non-profits!
I have nothing but great things to say about this organization. They are honest, open, and wonderful to work with.
Love this organization's support to the Veteran community. First and foremost, their usage of donations is transparent and reported annually - currently 88 cents for every $1 dollar goes directly to programming to support Veterans and their families. They are accredited by the Better Business Bureau; GuideStar; and Charity Navigator. Secondly, their programs - Health and Wellness provides incredible individualized needed support. No Veteran is alike in their health challenges and Boot Campaign tailors their programming to support the individual..'no cookie cutter approach.' Finally, I love their annual Santa Boots program that partners with other phenomenal military nonprofits to support military families across the nation during the holiday season in December. Each family has a dedicated shopper to provide the family specific gifts that meet every family member's needs.

As a Veteran that served almost 25 years with three combat deployments to Iraq, I saw first hand the challenges faced by the Soldiers I served with every day. More specifically, I witnessed serious injuries from combat operations. The visible injuries were something that our world class doctors were able to take care of with the best of their abilities. It was the "invisible wounds" of war that have taken its toll on my fellow service members. Suicide rates, divorce rates and the frustrations of dealing with Traumatic Brain Injuries and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder have had a the greatest impact on the Veterans that I have served with. So, I got involved with the Non-Profit called Boot Campaign, Inc. They precisely focus their efforts on Veterans that have PTSD and TBI issues along with Chronic Pain, Sleep and Addiction challenges. The same "big 5" things that are the leading cause of 22 Veterans committing suicide daily. I'm thankful for this organization tackling the hardest medical issues of "invisible wounds" and partnering with World-Class medical facilities to provide any Veteran the opportunity to get help. It's expensive and takes focused resources to provide the holistic support that these Veterans and their families need. Boot Campaign does this so well. Proud to be a part of this organization as a Board Member. Proud to have a Non-Profit that is trying to support Veterans with their greatest need...their health. Finally, proud that Boot Campaign collaborates with other non-profits to support the other needs that might be desired. This is an incredible organization that does everything so well with transparency of their financials and a focus on best use of the dollars that they receive.
Boot Campaign serves those who have served this country. By providing individualized assistance and care to veterans, this organization helps to pay a debt of gratitude that we all owe.
Review from Guidestar
Boot Campaign focuses on the individual veteran, determining specific needs and providing access to the best care. The staff members take the time to learn what each person and family requires for a successful transition back into civilian life. The volunteers work fundraising events with positive & caring attitudes. Boot Campaign ranks in the top 1% of veteran service organizations in the nation, by providing over a million dollars of direct assistance to the veteran community.
Review from Guidestar
Boot Campaign stepped in and changed the course of my life when I was suffering from some particularly overwhelming symptoms of PTSD. They were the first group to reach out personally and professionally in a way that allowed me to build trust with them, and ultimately to seek and receive treatment. I'll be forever thankful to the organization and especially the staff for the kindness and care they facilitated.
Boot Campaign provides a unique approach to caring for our military, veterans and their families. By focusing on the individual and ensuring they get the best treatment, Boot Campaign ensures the highest rate of success. Thank you to Boot Campaign for going the extra mile again and again. If you are a veteran and struggling to find the proper treatment, call Boot Campaign today!
Review from Guidestar
I do not have enough good things to say about Boot Campaign. From the first time I talked to them I knew they cared ... really cared, not just about me, but about my family too. They have been an integral part of my healing and are one of the main reasons I am still here, and my family is still in tact. I would recommend Boot Campaign to any veteran who is struggling after coming home.
Review from Guidestar
For twenty-two years, I laced up my combat boots and served as a Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman in the United States Navy. It was a career that took me around the globe, enriched my life and introduced me to some of my dearest friends. The experiences shared while wearing a uniform to protect the freedoms of all Americans are my most treasured memories. The Navy taught me about honor. It taught me courage. And it taught me about commitment!
In 2009, I began volunteering for Boot Campaign, a Texas-based nonprofit making incredible strides to help veterans and military families at a time when their needs were largely invisible in America. When I retired from the Navy in 2017, I was searching for both a professional career and personal opportunity that embodied those same characteristics: Honor, Courage and Commitment. I found a purpose and a passion by joining Northwestern Mutual and increasing my volunteer role with Boot Campaign by taking a leadership position on their Board of Directors.
Boot Campaign’s Health and Wellness program affords veterans the opportunity to get the treatment they need to reset from the experiences we all endured while on active duty service during this nation’s longest war. Several of my closest friends have experienced every issue the Boot Campaign Health and Wellness program addresses – brain injury, post traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain, addiction and insomnia. I have also witnessed the difference the program makes and the impact it has for the veteran and the veteran’s family.
It is my honor to give full support to the Boot Campaign and ask that EVERYONE do the same by paying it forward to those that have protected our great freedoms!
Review from Guidestar
I became acquainted with Boot Campaign back in 2011, when my dear Navy SEAL friend, Jon "JT" Tumilson, was among the 31 US military lost on 8/6/11 aboard Extortion 17 in Afghanistan. The mission of the organization to assist our military became truly real, and for the past 10 years I've seen their growth, and amazing ability to minister to the needs of our military suffering with PTSD, TBI, and other similar issues of suicide and depression. I applaud their efforts to make a difference, to give back, and to assist our men and women who selflessly offer their service to our country.

Review from Guidestar
Boot Campaign is committed to the invisible wounds of war. The staff spends hours on each case, making sure that each individual receives the care that their particular situation demands. They spend the time that each one requires and do a phenomenal job at personally improving the lives of everyone involved. Great people who care!
Review from Guidestar
The quality, compassion, and fierce advocacy for individual and comprehensive care is unmatched. In the Sea of Goodwill, Boot Campaign is the very best at serving our nation’s heroes.
Review from Guidestar
Honored to support this organization that is staffed by truly caring professionals who are making a huge difference in the lives of our veterans and their families. Have heard first-hand from program participants and have seen the impact they are having through their customized programs and personalized approach. The staff and collaborative partners of the Boot Campaign care deeply for improving the wellness of our veterans, service members and their families. They assess needs and determine the best course of action for each individual which is unique among the thousands of organizations serving our military community. They work tirelessly to ensure their programs are provided free of charge to eligible participants and, for those who may not specifically benefit from BC's areas of focus, a 'warm hand off' is provided to program providers that might better suit their needs. As a surviving military spouse and proud mom of an Army aviator, I truly appreciate their passion and compassion for making an impact on improving the wellness of those who've given so much.

Truly you all cared at those Kairos moments.
I thank God for this organization and the people who support with offerings.

I am very grateful for this organization and everyone that makes it possible.

The couple's marriage training was unbelievable. Thank you so much Boot Campaign Staff and all the Generous donors that help bring us home.
Doctor Howland actually listens and cares. She treated me like a person and not a number. Boot Campaign’s Health and Wellness Program is second to none.
Boot Campaign truly cares. I can't say enough good things about the passion and purpose-filled staff, veteran ambassadors, and partners.
Phenomenal non-profit. Assesses the individual and recommends treatment based on assessment as opposed to just sending the veteran or service member to a random location because "it might work". As a result, veterans find success and are able to move on with their lives. Boot Campaign recognizes the importance of family and looks for ways to support and integrate them as well. Passionate team ready to help by finding real, effective, long lasting answers!
Boot Campaign is hands-down the leader in uniting veterans and military families with life-improving programs. They truly walk the walk with exceptional and personalized compassion, navigational expertise with elite partnerships, and first-hand and diverse service experience. Boot Campaign has and continues to ignite the inner patriot in Americans for more than a decade. I am proud to be affiliated with Boot Campaign and look forward to being a part of their continued tremendous service.
When I retired from running a military based nonprofit, I was seeking to volunteer with a nonprofit that works with PTSD/TBI veterans. The Boot Campaign does just that and they are very successful at getting the help these veterans need. Well networked and connected to programs that work for the pressing issues that veterans deal with when they are diagnosed. Shelly Kirkland heads up a great team doing great things for our military members.
I want to thank Boot Campaign for their support and help with my injuries from active duty. The Boot Campaign’s Health and Wellness program help with my chronic pain and insomnia. I can’t say enough about the specialized treatment I received from their incredible partners that took the time to help me. I am now giving back to Boot Campaign’s continued support of Veteran’s invisible wounds by raising money as I hike 300 miles on the Colorado Trail in the back woods of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I would not be able to accomplish this with out the programs from Boot Campaign. THANK YOU ALL!!

Consistent and sincere in the compassionate and committed care of our Veterans. I continue to see their dedication throughout the year with new programs, opportunities, and ideas. As a volunteer I have seen their dedication to service members and their families as well as the impact made for them. There is no better #BootsOn

A fantastic nonprofit with a unique mission ran by honest, genuine people who deeply care for our service men and women and their families.
I have volunteered for this great military non-profit for nearly six years. In this time, I have seen Boot Campaign evolve to meet the ever changing landscape of how to best serve the military and the Veteran population. Their Health and Wellness program combines individualized comprehensive plans to improve the Veteran’s mind and body. This organization is small but packs a mighty punch - and they keep their organization small in order to maintain keeping an overhead of no more than 15% - of which currently 88% of their monies raised have gone directly back to those who need the help. I have been an advocate for many military non-profits, but I have been aligned with Boot Campaign for so long because they have always stayed true to their root cause - helping service members and Veterans above helping themselves.
I’ve first hand seen what the work the Boot Campiagn does for Veterans & their families. There are friends of mine who would not be here if not for the help the Boot Campiagn gave them.
They’re health and wellness program is changing and saving lives.
I’ve been nothing but impressed with the dedication of Boot Campaign’s staff to serving veterans. It is abundantly evident that they genuinely care and work so hard to take care of our heroes. I truly wish my late husband, a Vietnam veteran Marine, could have benefited from their care before his passing. I know he would have been cared for as an individual and given the utmost respect, which was not always what he encountered in his era. Keep up the good work, ladies, and may God bless you all!
This is an organization that serves veterans and their families. The service members and their families have been helped with housing, medical needs and educational costs.
I have personally observed how hard working and dedicated every person is at Boot Campaign.

The Boot Campaign Health and Wellness program is hands down the “real-deal!” I have never seen this level of commitment and dedication to ensure veterans receive the help needed to be whole again, and all of it without restrictions on branch, era, VA rating, etc. I have had the privilege of volunteering for and donating to this amazing program and am constantly impressed by the loyalty shown back to them from veterans they have served in the past. I’m not sure why all the other VSOs don’t copy exactly what Boot Campaign is doing because they’re doing it right! As a retired veteran with several invisible wounds myself, I can’t say enough how much I appreciate what they do.
Having spent much of my life around veterans, active duty military, and those preparing to serve our nation, I can honestly say that Boot Campaign does it right. Veterans receive top-notch care from a really talented staff who honestly understand the issues veterans face and how to address those head on.
Boot Campaign is the epitome of a transparent and truly exceptional Veteran Service Organization that works diligently and individually with veterans to get them the care they need for invisible wounds of war. I've personally seen how their programs impact veteran families directly, and in some cases, how it has changed the course of a veteran's life tremendously.
I've been involved with Boot Campaign since 2011 shortly after my husband was injured in combat. It's provided me a way to give back to a community that gives so much for us 'regular' Americans.
My wife and I were looking 8 years ago for a great non profit to support financially as well as with our time. We had been taken by some in the past that were not good Stewards of money. We are so thankful we found Boot Campaign. Now our money is spent 88 cents on the dollar towards the mission.
Boot Campaign is a great organization that does what they say they are going to do for military families. I feel very confident donating to them and know my money will be stewarded well!
We at True Vine Brewing Company in Tyler, TX have worked in partnership with this non-profit for the past couple of years at one of our largest events we host each Fall. The people at this organization are incredible, big-hearted people willing to serve wherever is needed. I love the mission behind what they do for veterans, how they fight together for it and all the people they are able to help in the process. I'm honored to give them a 5 star review! As a daughter of a veteran, it's amazing to see and hear all the many stories of how the Boot Campaign is making a tremendous difference in the world. THANK YOU GUYS!!!
Boot Campaign was amazing during our time of need. They quickly processed paperwork and helped us get a vehicle to fit our needs after some tragedies took place. I will forever think fondly of them and recommend them to other veterans.
I am a non prior service discharge of the Army. Many of my brothers I trained with during my short service and many others I've met after service had never heard of this org. When I came across it there was no doubt for my support.
I've told many veterans about this program whether the services this org will help them directly or not because without the strength of our team, we cannot complete our mission.
Thank you for your returned service to those who swore to defend.
My name is Elizabeth and I am currently CEO of another Veteran Organization. It is very important in our field, as non-profit organizations, that we all work with different organizations to better help our U.S. Military service members.
Working with the "Boot Campaign, Inc." has been an absolutely amazing experience. The generosity, caring, and loyalty that is felt while working with the leaders of this organization are like few others.
We all have our personal missions to assist our US Military members, however, the Boot Campaign, is going above and beyond their call of duty to provide for some of the most deserving men and women today.
Thank you Boot Campaign, for all you have done for my organization as well as our community!

The Boot Campaign is an wonderful organization that really understands what veterans need when they come home from active duty. It is truly amazing the amount of commitment this organization and staff continuously show by providing the necessary resources for our wonderful veterans and military families.
When looking for the right treatment for service related disabilities and how to live with and improve my situation after leaving the sniper community, these folks stepped up and have me on the road back to being part of society after knowing and dealing with what I was. Thank you soo much to the staff and volunteers and adjacents to the organization.

Once you stop, open your eyes, and really see how things are!!! Life takes on new perspective.
Truly, my life changed when i started paying attention to the people who selflessly give for the safety of the rest of us. Boot Campaign provides support for those who keep us safe every day. When our solders return from duty, life doesn't always resume as it left off. In fact, much of the time it is very difficult. Much more difficult than when they deployed.
PTSD & TBI treatments are regular occurrences that most of us civilians will never understand. For that reason Boot Campaign is a group of angels.
The Boot Campaign team is truly a great organization! Once I opened my eyes, not of my own doing, and began to see how things really are for our service men and women when they return from service. I was luckily introduced to some of the people who take care of many of our veterans with these struggles. A truly amazing group!
I wanted to order boots for my small office, unfortunately i had missed a large promotion the Boot Campaign had run by 1 day. When i asked about missing the promo, they told me they would honor it for one more day, for me. They were so great, I ordered 11 pair of boots. I was informed on every step of the order, including size out of stock. They suggested alternatives and made the experience of dealing with them a pleasure. The boots arrived very quickly with personalized notes to the recipients. What a wonderful touch.
I try to spread the message by wearing my boots regularly and jumping at the opportunity to explain why when asked "whats up with the boots?" I am a survivor of a major TBI and I am recovering only because of ReBoot and the Boot Campaign!
Thank you ReBoot, thank you Boot Campaign, you are all angels!
Bootcampaign is a Top notch charity, they helped this 20year navy retiree get to be in less pain that had me limited in what I could physically acomplish, and certainly helped my attitude to turn around to a positive one.
The best VSO that is fully transparent in how their funds are collected and used to benefit military families nationwide. Couldn't find a better organization.
Boot Campaign is an amazing organization that honors the service and sacrifice of Veterans and Military Families with the simple act of lacing up a pair of combat boots. The Passion, Power and Purpose of its mission - "When They Come Back, We Give Back" - inspires the amazing staff and volunteers to lead the fight to Reclaim Health and Wellness, Restore Families, Restart Careers, Reduce Suicide and Reinforce Communities.
Boot Campaign's revolutionary Health and Wellness pipeline gives veterans access
and funding to the individualized and comprehensive programs they need and deserve. To accomplish this, Boot Campaign joins forces with like-minded entities to help Military Families struggling with traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain, self-medication and insomnia. Its saving lives every day.
I'm encouraged, inspired, motivated and honored to say; "I've got my Boots On!" and I challenge anyone who wants to make REAL difference in the lives of our Veterans and Military Families to join us. Lace Up, America!

Fantastic . I ordered boots turned out they were on back order so I exchanged them for the same boot but different color. Ms Navarro was very helpful in get the order squared away. The only issue I have is with the supplier. they need to be clear about how the boots are sized , do they run either big or small . I found that mine ran big . I have had the same issue elsewhere.
I found this site while searching on line for boots and will be ordering another set of boots soon.
Honest. Legit. Truly care about Veterans. Money well spent when you purchase merchandise and boots. You can donate without fear or worry when BC is involved. Check out Reboot. Make a difference. Take a stand. #BootsOn.
Been on board since the beginning. Boot Campaign is a great way to support our Military. These boots are far better on the feet than my old boon dockers. I have sent good winter and summer socks to my friends son. Never quite understood why they provided us with those thin crappy socks. Personally participated in Operation Frequent Wind the Evacuation of Saigon in 1975. Never Quit, Never Forget, & Keep Charging!
Our family can't thank the Boot Campaign enough for the amazing help they gave Kyle Blair in his recovery. We love him so much and are forever grateful for their amazing program that helps the Veterans who deserve all the support available to them after the sacrifices they made for not just our country, but for all of us! Thank you Boot Campaign and God bless our veterans!
Boot Campaign saved our family when we were at our very lowest. After my husband was medically retired from the military his pay was messed up and not coming through like it should. In the long drawn out process to get it all worked out we were down to half a gallon of milk in our refrigerator and not much else to feed our family. Rent was behind and bills were piling up. When we turned to them their response was, "We only wish you'd have reached out sooner." They truly saved us and helped us through that rough time. They paid a few imperative bills and sent us gift cards for gas and food. We are eternally greatful.
After several years working with the program from the outside my husband now works with their new Reboot program. This program works with veterans who need help reintegrating. From addiction, PTSD, depression, and suicide, they truly work to ensure these veteran are getting the care they so much need and deserve.
The Boot Campaign is an amazing organization comprised of an amazing group of truly wonderdul people.
Boot Campaign saved my life! Just look at the pictures. That was one year same fishing tournament. I was having liver failure with a .002% chance of living two weeks. Now every day is a gift from God. I've started a humble small business that is growing everyday and I get to kissing my Wife and Kids every night! I am so thankful to God and Boot Campaign!
Boot campaign has supported our family in so many ways, from a trip of a lifetime to Jamacia (our Frist vacation in 9years since my husband's injury) and then they generously sent Christmas presents to our 4 children last year while he was deployed! They do great things for our veterans, current military and their families! From the bottom of our hearts we are so thankful, get your boots on!
So I've been buying these boots for about idk 8 years or so and they just get better and better as a company! The company is amazing! The help toward our vets is so great! Right now they are doing boot4boot plus 50$ of your purchase to vets!
I purchased a pair of boots last year , have been unable to wear them because they were too heavy. During the Shiner 5k when I purchased a shirt I mentioned the boots . The rep told me to return them and I would be able to get the lighter Women's tac8.
I did and they did exchange for me! I love that this supports the military and proudly wear my boots, hoodie , and shirts !!!
It's a great place to shop knowing they give back!!

Boot Campaign truly cares about our nation's heroes and is dedicated and determined to make a difference. You won't find another veteran nonprofit that gives back to our troops the way that they do. Boot Campaign's ReBOOT program is truly making life-changing and life-SAVING measures with this groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind, individualized program.
My son Michael Hardgrove is very, very active in supporting the Boot Campaign, Inc. and I am his biggest supporter. He purchased a pair of boots for me for my birthday and like your web-site says I wear them PROUDLY with everything and anything. Especially riding my Harley Davidson MC. I love what they stand for first and foremost, but also for the fact they fit perfectly. No break-in period, period. I chose to pay this forward and purchase a pair for his step-father's Birthday and we will both become advocates for the Boot Campaign.
Found out about BC from a Texas Marine I met at another Non-Profit event. Decided to check them out. They're a great organization that is truly committed, straight-shootiing, honest, genuine, true to their roots, and are just a true treasure. Their products are of high quality. Their hero ambassadors are selfless and giving. They inspire, encourage, promote, and ignite awareness and patriotism. They give hope, meaning, and purpose to everyone that is touched by them. I hope to work with them one day as a volunteer and pay it forward. Work hasn't allowed me to do so, but I am leaving to pursue school and become a Veterans Advocate. I will finally be able to volunteer and live the motto that they believe in, and that Chris Kyle believed in, "It is our duty to serve those who serve us". Everyone, please get your boots on!
I simply like their attitude in the whole process!!!!!! Funny comments, light outlook, tell it straight, professional and very uplifting. I like to be on their site just to read their messages and marketing talk.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a true pleasure to do business with someone who truly believes it what they are doing.
I can't remember how I first heard about Boot Campaign but being a person who 1-loves boots and 2-loves Vets I knew I wanted to get my Boots On!. First I ordered the "Tac Force 8" Women's Tan Tactical Boot with Zipper". I will admit there was a mistake and I was sent the men's size instead of the women's. I called Boot Campaign right away and I was first impressed that I actually spoke to a human. She could not have been nicer or more sorry for the mistake. The mistake was corrected immediately and I now have my boots. They are more comfortable than any shoes (or boots) that I have. I wear them most of the time. Since the ones I bought were tan color, I just ordered "GX-8 Gore-Tex Black for Women" what well dressed woman doesn't need a good pair of black combat boots? I continue to have my "Boots On!".
I love the Boot Campaign folks! I can't say enough about what a great thing it is that they do to recognize those who give their all for their country. The products are high quality - I love my boots and can't wait for my new t-shirts to arrive. I'm sure it will be soon because the service is great - thank you, Boot Campaign!
My husband and I have a son in the Army and a son-in-law in the Air Force. We are always looking for ways to support our military. I recently heard about the Boot Campaign during a Home and Family segment on the Hallmark Channel. What a wonderful organization! We just ordered our boots and are now looking into becoming part of the Boot Squad. We are so very thankful for our precious military men and women and are happy to support this awesome campaign!
I love, love, love what you're doing for our servicemen. Our grandson graduated from boot camp, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas in April (unfortunately the day of the shooting incident). He strongly believes in his country & fighting for it. We are so proud of him, thus we are happy to find a new way to support his beliefs and his endeavors! Your web sight is great and we will be happy to spread the word!
I watched television today where staff Sgt. Joey was on talking about how he lost his legs and the meaning of patriotism. It made me pause and think. He is a true inspiration. This brief message said so much it was the least I could do to help such a deserving cause. Thank you for your service and support of others who have fought.
I saw these two ladies on Pu4sui5 channel talking about a "boot campaign". After I heard what it was for I had to check it out. They have great products and 5hey give money to help veterans. First as a veteran I'd like to say thank you. We need more great ideas like this to help those vets that need it. Our government just isn't doing enough. So please take time to check out their online store. It's easy to use and prices are good.
Long story short... I am an internationally known professional photographer, I come from a long line of military people in my family, and I married a woman who dedicated over 10 years in the US Army before being injured her 2nd tour to Iraq resulting in her being forced to medically retire. We always are looking to see what charities that support our vets and what they are actually doing to help. Been following Boot Campaign for a bit and just felt they are doing some great things with the provisions they have.
I just purchased a shirt from them as obviously majority of spouses are female. I want to show support to those FEMALE vets like my wife who have a man at home who supports what they do.

This is my go-to organization when I make a donation "in leu of flowers" in someone's memory. I also keep a supply of their CDs in my car/purse to give out to military personal/veterans when I see them. Earlier today, I followed a Vietnam Vet on his motorcycle until he stopped and I thanked him for his service and handed him a CD. Just now I ordered my second set of 10 to have on hand. Last December, a friend and I raised almost $4,000 for the Boot Campaign.
I love this organization and am proud to support them!
I've purchased from the Campaign many times now. Their eagerness to help make sure you get what you've ordered and it meets your expectations is amazing. My most recent order wasn't working out, so they helped me set up an exchange for a product that works for me. Thanks for what you do, and who you do it for.
I don't have a story per say. What I do have is access to a charity that is awesome. I've been meaning to place my order for some time now but always found an excuse to "do it tomorrow". Well enough is enough. Pulled the trigger last night and am very happy. I know the money is well spent, I get a kick ass pair of new boots and will wear them proudly. I have already "Liked" their F/B page and have shared it a lot. I also shared it on a separate page for my hobby business. I cannot wait for these t come and start rocking them in my office. Keep up the great work for an even better cause!!!!
My family has always been military. My grandfathers both served, my maternal grandfather in the Air Corps before it was the Air Force, becoming a POW and surviving the Bataan Death March. My paternal grandfather was in the Navy and served during the Korean War.
My father joined the Air Force immediately after going to college on the GI bill, and became a C-141 pilot after he lost a buddy during fighter training. Flying is his life. He served during Desert Storm, Desert Shield, that mess in Bosnia and Somalia. I would sit with my mother and sister and watch the anti-aircraft fire, praying he would make it.
He now flies for a civilian cargo outfit, and they have a bunch of DoD contracts, so he still flies into Kabul and such, occasionally with supplies for soldiers and sometimes with the soldiers himself. He's told me that he wishes very much that he could get back in the fight and serve again.
I was raised as a military child, and my parents instilled such a strong sense of responsibility in me that it kept me alive when my severe depression made me suicidal. So I want to thank each and every one of you for your bravery, your sacrifice, your sheer refusal to quit. You save lives in ways you don't even know about. You saved mine. Thank you all. I am more grateful than I can ever express.
I just ordered my second pair of boots! The fact that over .80 cents goes back to helping our men and women in the service is amazing in its own right!! Anything that supports our troops is amazing!! Get your boots on!!!!!
Boot Campaign is an amazing Non Profit organization. The fact that over 80cents per every dollar goes back into the programs and to our veterans sold me! I know for me personally Boot Campaign has changed my life. I now see the dire need to give back to our veterans. It is more than putting a bumper stick on your car saying you support the troops. Boot Campaign is giving relief to those in need, and changing lives. Thank you Boot Campaign for being genuine and transparent!
This has got to be one of the best nonprofit organizations for vets and their family members. With the kick off of Santa Boots this year, I was able to see them at work. The lives that were touched by this event was heart warming. When the people at Boot Campaign say thank you for your service, they mean it. Thank you Boot Campaign for all that you have done and will do for our veterans.
As a combat vet, I appreciate the work these guys do. Could have just went out and bought some boots off the shelf but I wanted to help them in their mission
I have followed the Boot Campaign for quite awhile now! My boys got their boots and mom just ordered hers! I can't wait to get them!! Hopefully in the near future we want to hold an event. I'll let y'all know how it goes!
NO POLITICS. NO AGENDA. LETS SUPPORT THE PEOPLE WHO FIGHT AND LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES WHEN WHEN ASKED.
THANK YOU!
I Love this Mission! As an advocate for our Freedom Fighters who have served, are currently serving, those Never Forgotten and those that still fight the battle after returning home from war...I salute your conviction. Awareness, Patriotism and Pride. Strength, Love and Support for our Warriors! I will wear my Boots and the message of your mission on my back Proudly!
I saw you on The Tomi show, I'm a getting old combat vet, and only wear boots. Thank you for your service.
I have been wanting to get involved with wounded warriors for sometine. I sent Christmas Cards but I did not feel like that was enough. I am a daughter of a Vietnam Vet my father suffers from multiple issues. He has such a hard time getting help from the Veterans it makes me crazy. I have many friends that went to war in the middle east that are suffering too. Last night on Tomi Lahren Jonny Jones was on speaking about the Boot Campaign, I immediately went onto the website and found out that I could volunteer in so many ways they even have training classes. I am extremely honored that I get to be involved in helping our soldiers.
Thank you, Grateful Citizen Alicia
Boot Campaign is such a phenomenal organization. They support a cause with passion and perseverance that I wish I could support more. Through donations and purchases all of my experiences have been great. I enjoy their emails that keep me up to date on their activities and those associated wi the Boot Campaign. Never Quit!
I feel extremely blessed to live in a country where we fight for freedom, help those in need, and support those who risk their lives for us every day. This organization embodies all that is American. They bring awareness to our heroes and aid them when they need it the most. I am a proud supporter of the Boot Campaign and love the attention I get when I "get my boot on". Keep on, keepin' on, Boot Campaign!
My experience with the boot campaign charity was easy. I come from a family of United States Marine Corps soldiers, Philadelphia police officers, and government contractors for the State Department. My blood sweat and tears has always been and will always be in support of our military and police. Every little bit helps. Stay safe to all those serving and God bless America.
I originally saw some things on The Chive about The Boot Campaign and it sparked my interest, then I heard all the great things the fellas from The Drinkin' Bros Podcast had to say about the company and I knew this was the place. Nobody deserves our help and thanks more than this nations veterans, Boot Campaign does some awesome things for the vets and the money we give goes to the right place, not to mention what they do is cool. I love the idea of the Boot Campaign, and they have some awesome gear to show your support with!
I cannot think of people more worthy of our support than our veterans. They have made sacrifices beyond comprehension for our country and deserve our full support. I'm happy for the opportunity to be able to provide back to them.
I always have a big smile on my face when i place my boot orders with The Boot Campaign. It makes me feel proud to do my part. I told all my close friends & family about this great nonprofit organization. God Bless all the brave souls that serve this great country. K.J.K Michigan
Joey Jones was the guest speaker for Hunt Brothers Pizza's Christmas Party in Nashville, TN on December 5. He really touched both me and my husband's hearts. We just ordered our boots and can't wait to get them!!! This is a great cause and we continue to pray for each and everyone of our veterans. God bless you!
I love "The Boot" and everything it stands for and those it helps. I will always keep committed to this very special project.
I have referred a few people to this organization and received thank yous as they helped them out without issues.
Great group in helping keep all Americans aware of the sacrifices of our veterans and working to help veterans.
My husband is a Marine who was medically retired from the Corps due to neck and asthma issues that developed while he was in the service. A couple of years ago we found ourselves in a tough spot. We both lost our jobs and my husband had to have surgery on his neck for the 2nd time. We were struggling to make ends meet on unemployment and his small retirement. We were behind on our mortgage payments and were very scared that we would lose our home before finding employment. Then someone told us about The Boot Campaign. My husband is a proud Marine and it was hard for him to reach out to "strangers" for help. But The people at The Boot Campaign were wonderful. They were understanding and willing to do what they could to help. After verifying some information and listening to our worries they stepped right up to help. The assistance they gave us helped us breathe a little easier while worked to get back on our feet. They are an incredible organization with some truly understanding people who are there to help our Veterans when the need it.
I recently heard about The Boot Campaign from a friend on Facebook. I quickly looked into it and was so excited that it was something I could contribute to! My son was in the Navy, and is now home, dry and safe with a job and a home. I realize how lucky we are and how fortunate he is. There are so many soldiers that have come home less fortunate. I am disabled, so I can't join a monthly donation thing, but I'm quite please with your blanket, and essential package! It was also very easy to make a donation to. It made me feel better to give! Thanks for this awesome Campaign!
A few years back Scruffy Wallace put sometjing out there about a charity called Boot Campaign. I decided to check them out. I feel our soldiers need to be supported before, during and after deployment. I bought my first pair. The SWAT style boots were very well made..and very durable. My job is very demanding on boots and a pair would never go past 6 months. This pair over a year. I am now onto my 6th pair. My UA and Rat boots are my going out boots. I have gone through pair of SWAT boots in 3 years and just got in my GX-8's. Again a very durable and we'll built boot. Thank you ladies who started this charity and to all that help keep it going
I first heard of the "Boot Champaign" on a show I was watching; I was so impressed, I immediately googled them & saved it to my bookmarks. I didn't have the money art the time; my Hero, my Dad was about to turn 80 & seeing he had served in the USMC, always giving too charities for Veterans; I thought, wow, if I could follow his example, I'd love to get him the "Boots"! Well, I didn't think out would be soon (or possible), but today I DID! The"Boot Campaign" was so helpful, they responed immediately to ALL my questions via email & text... Wow!!! I can't wait for my Dad to receive his"Boots"; knowing that I too am giving back to the Men & Women for whom I am deeply indebted to! Thank you "Boot Campaign"for all you do & giving me the opportunity to give back; in more ways then one!!!
Semper Fi,

I ordered a few things through BC and my last buy I finally went all out and bought a pair boots, but they were to Big which is odd for me, sent them back with no hassle, got the replacements just in time for a few Christmas toy runs.
Just ordered a cap to with the boots.
I have been a member for the last 5 years, and since then there have been many, many more nonprofits (military-minded) that have been started, but I would put this one at the top of my list. Hats off to the Boot Girls that started this worthy campaign. Keep doing what your doing ... you have helped so many that would have otherwise been literally left behind. Thank you to all that keep this nonprofit going with the hard work, dedication, and time where they could be spending it with their families. Priceless.
I saw a post on Facebook from Cheap Trick supporting the Boot Campaign and wearing the boots so I had to check out the site. What a great cause supporting those that serve and have served to protect us every day. I THANK you all so much for what you do. God bless!! I bought some boots today and will wear them proudly. Thank you
BAM! I was a 10 year U.S Army Veteran (HOOAH), and I recently got out last year, I had the unfortunate opportunity of getting married, and going through divorce, losing everything and returning home to Ohio to live. It was all very sad and terrible circumstances. I finally just gave it a shot and reached out to Boot Campaign in times where things were very hard and difficult for me. The staff was amazing and helpful and assisted right away with asking questions, addressing my issues I was specifically having and actually felt like they cared. Their MRF (military recovery fund) program is amazing and was an absolute godsend. I was approved a grant and it got me back on track in this tough transition back to the world. Thank you BOOT CAMPAIGN! You know you have a true fan and boot squader here! -BAM-
This is my second pair of boots that I have gotten from Boot Campaign, Inc. I finally conceded this fall that I had to retire my first pair after 5 years of heavy use. Believe it or not, the bottom eyelets had finally worn through - the rest of the boot was still chugging along! I had gotten the U.S. Navy DuraShock Steel-Toe Boots - and that's what I've ordered again. A great product from a great non-profit!!
I started off as a supporter of Boot Campaign, which turned me into a volunteer for them as well! I am constantly pleasantly surprised with the friendliness and professionalism of everyone I have ever had the privilege of working with....from customer service when I really really wanted a shirt that was out of stock, to the volunteer coordinator, to marketing.... It is a great pleasure to be even a small part of Boot Campaign (My closet is full of boots and all kinds of Boot Campaign shirts to prove it!)!
I found out about this charity from Instagram and I am all about helping out our soldiers in anyway I can. I think this program sounds amazing and am thankful for all the active soldiers and veterans out there, thank you for your service! Can't wait to get the cool gear I picked up from the store and will add this to my list of places to donate too as well.
I'm an example of the "snowball effect"! I read one book (lone survivor) and delved into doing all I could to help veterans who so bravely signed the bottom line. I owe each of them at minimum my gratitude! Thank you
I wanted to help out our wonderful Veteran's, and such an AWESOME boot and quick delivery, my second time ordering..
saw it on SALive TV show in San Antonio, Texas, young soldier that lost both legs was telling host of show his story wish I could do more but I can not
Boot Campaign was a tremendous help in obtaining the necessary equipment my doctors recommended to aid in treatment of my service connected conditions. Their customer service was very knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful every step of the way. From the first inquiry to final approval I felt as though Boot Campaign took a vested interest in my overall well-being. I am forever grateful for Boot Campaign and the generosity they provided in meeting my needs.
We were at the end of our rope! As a result of my wife having breast cancer we accumulated a lot of medical bills, which diverted funds from normal household expenses. When everyone else said no, Boot Campaign gave us a much needed helping hand, not a hand out. We thank God for the entire Boot Campaign organization for caring enough to help Veterans and their family.
I was denied by every organization out there before I came to boot campaign. During a time when my life couldn't have been any better boot campaign was there to help. They kept me from losing my home, vehicles, and being able to provide stability to my four year old daughter. Boot Campaign is truly one of the few organizations out there who are there to help veterans like myself.
While we were denied by "big name" organizations like operation Homefront, boots campaign helped us!!! We are beyond grateful. Thank you for not making us feel inferior for seeking help. Thank you for truly caring.
I ordered my Boots and received them in record time. This is such a wonderful cause. Happy to support our Troops in anyway I can.
I learned of This campaign through Bonnie-Jill Laflin. She is a huge supporter of military charities and many others. She's such an inspiration in her selflessness to dedicate her time to everything positive she does. I will spread the word. I ordered some new shoes for work. Can't wait to receive them.
HP Home of the Brave campaign. Donation made in memory of Roger Peterson - CAPT US Army (Korean War Veteran) who passed on October 21, 2015. Roger is the father in law of Cliff Carlson, HP ES SLED Account Executive.
My participation was through my employer, HP, who is a partner in Home of the Brave campaign. I donated an Honor Pack in honor of my dad, Joe Kuntz, who served in World War II as a messenger. He delivered mail to companies near the front lines in France, Germany and Switzerland. Dad will be celebrating his good health and 90th birthday this week, on October 23, 2015. Love you Dad!
Zac Brown is the greatest. I found you through his website and Camp Southern Ground. Keep up the good work!
Participated through my employer, HP, who is a partner in the Home of the Brave campaign and sent an Honor Pack to my local VA. Like many, I have a whole family and extended network of veterans in my life. Thank you, to each and every person who has served.
Boise VA is getting a Home of the Brave package and also 2 blankets in memory of my dad.Thomas G. Minow (Lt. Col, retired) USAF and my mom Sara Minow.
Dad was a flight instructor in WWII, flew in the Berlin airlift and went on to Korea where he earned the Distinguished Flying Cross.
#HP Home of the Brave made it so easy to donate fleece blankets to our local Atlanta VA Medical Center through the Boot Campaign website #HonorVets. I appreciated the free shipping, so all of my donation goes straight to the donated items. I gave in memory of my Dad, who was in the Navy in the Pacific in WWII, and of several uncles who were in the Army in Europe in WWII. When you go out to the Boot Campaign, in addition to donating Honor Packs or Blankets - take the time to check out their boots and read the back story; check out other apparel and jewelry options - I wish they hadn't already sold out on their logo pins! Order today: http://hp.nu/Ra2ek Cheers, Kristi H.
HP offers the opportunity to give back to our military hero’s for all employees. My father served in WWII and then in the reserves, and I have many friends who have served and are currently serving. God bless you for your service, sacrifice, and protecting all of us!
I am a disabled Vietnam veteran and I am proud to share with other veterans. Please dig deep and give to this wonderful charity. We owe our way of life to veterans who sacrificed.
HP is supporting the Home of the Brave backpacks for vets and homeless vets. Sent 2 to the Boise VA center. Our son is in the ARMY and served 2 tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom and several more missions in his current role. All veterans suffer ill effects of the deployments and this is just a small bit to help a couple get on with their lives. Hope it helps. Dennis and Sharon
HP has offered this for all employee's to share. I am a daughter of an WWII Vet and wife of a Viet Nam Green Beret, and this donation was dedicated to all veterans who serve and sacrifice. I am so grateful for all veterans who serve and welcome an opportunity to assist in a very small way to show my appreciation.
I bought these boots for my father because he loves and respects every servicemen he meets. I figured it was about time to get him some boots that show it while he works as police officer.
Push Ups For Charity partnered with the Boot Campaign to help us create a community event to help raise funds by seeing how many push ups you could do in 90 seconds. With the community participating by sponsoring or doing push ups we've been able to raise over $70,000 for our veterans just by doing push ups! Can't wait to do it again next year on Armed Forces Day.
I was very pleased that my employer HP has offered this for all employee's to share. As a daughter of an Army dad who served in WWII, a sister of a brother who served in Viet Nam, and a niece to all of my uncles (and one aunt) who all proudly served our country throughout the years, this donation was dedicated to you. And thanks HP for the opportunity. What a great way for someone to say, thank you for your service.
Charity begins at Home. I am very happy to see HP Home of the Brave partner with this cause. We owe everything to our Brave men and women in Uniform. God Bless our Veterans and God Bless America.
I love the partnership Boot Campaign has with HP Home of the Brave. I purchased an "honor pack" (care package) to be distributed to the VMAC of my choice. I hope to see more of these programs in the future!
Awesome charity! I wear my boots every day, just as I did when I served in the Army. It's proved to be a great way to bring awareness to the Veteran community, keep up the good work! Thank you!
The best charity or non profit I have worked with. Their mission is wonderful and they actually truly help who they say they help. God bless
These ladies are doing what all Americans should be doing! The least we can do for those who give the most is buy and/or donate to their well-being.
Thanks Ladies... You ROCK!!!
Boot Campaign is awesome .They helped us out 100% & took all stress away from us . Thank you for helping us .
Thank You !!!!!!
This is wonderful! I'm so glad that I could help support this organization as well as receiving a quality product. My husband loves the boots!
Proud to wear my BOOTS while working to serve veterans and their families with
The LONE SURVIVOR Foundation!
I am proud to donate monthly to the Boot Campaign because I know a HUGE chunk of that money goes directly to the mission. You don't have to question that! That's important to me and they do a great job with the funds going to assistance!
I love the boot campaign they give with big hearts and make sure you can support the soldiers in a subtle way.
What an amazing organization ran by some of the best people I have ever had the honor of knowing. These people truly care for our military. It is their main priority to give back and help the men and women that have served our country and sacrificed so much. I can not think of a better cause to give my time and money to. It is truly an honor and blessing to be a part of their work.
Boot Campaign is an incredible organization that helps veterans and inspires all who deal with them! Joey Jones and crew are nothing short of amazing, and quite simply some of the most patriotic people you will ever meet!
You can't believe how much I am getting in return for the time I am giving to our veterans and their families! After every event, I am just riding high feeling honored to help in the smallest ways. There is not enough service compared to the magnitude of service and sacrifice they have given to protect our great freedoms!
Boot Campaign offers a variety of events, in which to volunteer your time, give your money, or just spread the word about this amazing organization. The people who run it and those that volunteer are so diverse, but all there for our veterans. It started with a booth they had at the DFWPhotoExpo, buying a few t-shirts, reading about them on the internet, to get me going....and I haven't regretted one minute. I highly recommend this group.
My kids had the honor of working with the Boot Campaign to make a video and were featured on the KABC news. And when showing friends and family the news special, everyone had questions about the Boot Campaign and both my girls were able to talk about it and explain honor, courage, integrity and loyalty. They for sure learned a lot in a short amount of time and both were very excited to be part of the program. it is great to see that there is an organization that is helping our youth understand what our countries heroes are fighting for. Me personally never knew about honor, courage, integrity and loyalty until I jointed the Marines. To open the eyes of todays youth is so beneficial to our way of life.

I have seen first hand how the Boot Campaign goes above and beyond for our veterans in need! I am in a position where I can refer veterans to the Boot Campaign's, Military Recovery Fund to request assistance and I have personal knowledge of many requests fulfilled.
This organization works on very narrow operating costs to keep the money they raise going to the veterans. I will continue to be a cheer leader for the Boot Campaign as long as I can!!
I love the much appreciated straight-talk that the folks from the Boot Campaign give their customers; they are a breath of fresh air. You gotta' question? They'll answer it straight up, no dancin' 'round any bushes there. Love the merchandise, you get a really unique, comfortable, and high quality product for the price ... and real quick too. I can't say enough good things about these folks and their mission.
As the mother of a veteran I am so pleased to have found an organization with such a great mission to support. I know they are good stewards of the money they receive and truly make a difference.
I had the best experience with this company! They are in constant contact from the minute you place your order until it's delivered. Exchanges are no hassle and the shipping time is extremely fast. I love my boots, shirt and I know I will feel this same about my hat. Thank you Boot Campaign!
I am just now getting to know the folks at Boot Campaign.
I am amazed at what they have done and how they have remained focus to the mission that they began with. Their heart and passion for our military families is apparent. A lot of military organization have that. Yet, as the years go by and they grow, some non-profits lose sight of the basics... "why did we begin doing this in the first place"
The Boot campaign folks have not lost sight of why they do..... what they do. They know it is all about those they serve, they make no distinctions. In fact, they make more exceptions to include those that need their support.
That is what makes them special in the military org world!!
ASC looks forward in being a boot on the ground for "Boot Campaign" :))

This is our second year having an event that supported the Boot Campaign. Everyone one with their organization was so professional and great to work with. I'm honored to say we partner with them and we are looking forward to our third event that will take place September 11, 2015!
Veterans United Foundation has been honored to work with an organization like The Boot Campaign for several years now. Their passion for helping the military community is unwavering and we are proud to call them a partner!
My husband is a Soldier in the US Army. I started with Boot Campaign because I wanted to give back to my Army family. I found the Boot Campaign. My experience with them had been the most amazing experience of my life. I can't ever imagine my volunteer experience without having been adopted into the Boot Campaign family.
Just an amazing group of people taking care of another amazing group of people.
This was my first experience volunteering with a nonprofit organization. The Boot Campaign went above and beyond my expectations. They have an amazing group of individuals and all work together to help our deserved veterans and their families. I am looking forward to working with all of them again very soon. I was honored to be part of such a great organization.

I couldn't be more impressed with the mission of Boot Campaign. The purpose and the people that keep Boot Campaign going from day to day make it possible to help the lives of so many service members and veterans and as a veteran, I sincerely appreciate each and every one of outstanding men and women that serve within the Boot Campaign organization. Thank you!
Courage Beyond at Centerstone is proud to partner together with the Boot Campaign. Our organizations have worked together to host fundraising and awareness events to shed light on the issues our warriors and their loved ones face as an impact of their service to our country, as well as provide them with programs and services to offer support, assistance and healing. Boot Campaign does a tremendous job at raising awareness and funds to provide this much needed support to our military population. Putting your BOOTS ON is such an easy way for anyone to get involved and show not only his or her patriotism, but also support for our troops!
The Boot Campaign is an excellent group. I have had the honor to volunteer with these amazing people to provide funds, camaraderie, and just a good old time for veterans and active duty military members. Through sponsorship and donated resources, the Boot Campaign provides events for vets to come together and participate in such as golf, fishing, marksmanship, etc. Veterans are paired up with sponsors in teams for these events,which is nice because the sponsors get to show appreciation to the veterans, and the veterans get to tell their stories and just feel the love.
The Boot Campaign provides for veterans in ways that the VA cannot. As a veteran, spouse of a disabled veteran, and a volunteer, I can truly say that I support them 100% and will always look for ways to help out.
As an active duty member I serve as a medical asset to the Marine infantry. It's my job to take care of them. I learned of The Boot Campaign a few years back and attended my first event with them, The Boot Ride. I was exposed to what they were all about, and caught a glimpse of what they do. I was hooked and started volunteering for everything I could with them. As I was more and more exposed to their work, and saw what they were doing for our veterans, I discovered that the same passion that I had in taking care of my Marines existed here in this organization, for all service members. I have been fortunate enough to volunteer for several events with them, and each time, I am met with the same awe; that same feeling, I experienced at my first event. Genuine, real, American, patriotic people who sincerely care about our service members. The services provided by them for our troops and their families is amazing.
I volunteer for and donate to the Boot Campaign. We researched other veterans' charities and determined that TBC was doing the best work with the least amount of overhead.
The Boot Campaign is near and dear to my heart. I am a volunteer for TBC because I have always wanted to do something to give back to those who serve our great country. I researched other charities to help out and I found The Boot Campaign in 2013. I went to The 2013 Boot Ride in Hollywood and just felt so close to this cause and wanted to give my time to them. I love that they are transparent and you can actually see where the money that is raised goes to, which is very important. I have been fortunate now to be involved with several fundraising and charity events (Push Ups for Charity, The Boot Ride, private golf fundraisers, etc.). The Push Ups for Charity team that I joined in Santa Clarita, CA raised the most money in the country for TBC, and I was able to see the funds raised go towards a mortgage free home for a wounded warrior. This was such an amazing and emotional feeling that words really cannot describe. It was such an honor to shake the hand of the Veteran that gave so much of himself for this country. I love The Boot Campaign and everything that they do, the staff at The Boot Campaign are so dedicated to their work and it shows with their success in help so many Veterans and their families. I feel like I have found a second family with some of the BC staff, as they understand my compassion to help those who need it so much. They are not just a “business” they are a compassionate group of people who love their country and will do anything to help those that serve. I love TBC and will continue to volunteer as long as they exist.
I am the board member contact for a Veterans advocacy group w/ 500 members at a major oil field service company in Houston, Texas.
We have partnered w/ Boot Campaign for the last 12 months and have been trilled w/ their mission. It has dovetailed into our corporate philosophy. As well we have been amazed at the ideas and support that we have received from their staff !! They have gone out of their way as a group to make our partnership w/ them to be 1st class.
We have had several fund raising events w/ Boot Campaign and have several more in the pipe. We see a long and happy future using Boot Campaign as our charity conduit to the Veteran community outside of our company!
I would urge any and all to spend your valuable time w/ Boot Campaign as we feel that it is time spent pointed in the correct direction!

I have worked in Medical Leadership Position with TX Army National Guard, and have worked with many veterans and companies.
The Boots Campaign has been far and away hosted the most top notch events that I have attended, and been an avid supported of our veterans.
Thanks to Christina and all The Boots Campaign Staff!
I have been a part of this organization since it's inception and have watched it positively impact the lives of not only our veterans, but their family members as well. It continues to strive to find the most important needs of our veteran population and address them head on, while honoring their service and sacrifice.

The Boot Campaign promotes patriotism, cultivates awareness, and provides necessary programs for the men and women coming home from combat. I believe it is our duty as Americans to support the 1% of the population who are willing to defend our freedom, and it is SO easy! The Boot Campaign can help you do it in a fun, visible and tangible way - by GETTING YOUR BOOTS ON! The feeling you will get from purchasing a pair of boots, wearing them out and starting a conversation will be unlike any other, and you know you LITERALLY helped someone in need.
I have personally seen the difference Boot Campaign makes in the lives of military families, and it is through pure, genuine passion this organization thrives. Not only does this nonprofit go out of their way to raise awareness and promote patriotism, they are dedicated to providing assistance whenever possible, and partner up with other strong organizations to have an even greater impact. Their mission is unparalleled and the heart behind the operation is absolutely awe-inspiring.
I have witnessed first hand what this charity does for our veterans. From Home Giveaways, to emergency assistance to a renewed sense of purpose for veterans looking for a noble cause to be a part of. The Boot Campaign has our veterans in mind every step of the way. A truly first rate organization.
Great organization that gives back to the men and women of our military. I started volunteering back in the early days and have been an employee for over two years now. It's such a gratifying experience to be involved with this amazing group.
I love everything about this organization... Passion, Patriotism, and Purpose! Everytime I wear my boots, someone will ask me about them, which gives me the opportunity to to tell people how they can help our military. The charity is very transparent so you know exactly how much of your donation goes directly to helps support Career Placement, Housing, Family Support, Urgent Assistance and Wellness.... and so much more!
I am a 4 year employee and volunteer for this organization. I am proud to be able to say that I have been here since the Boot Campaign opened it's doors, and I have never felt more fulfillment at any other job in my career. I have had the privileged of seeing lives changed on a daily basis, and will continue to work for this organization for the foreseeable future.
Top 3 Oganizational Highlights:
1) Transparency (regarding finances, programs, funding , Etc)
2) Clear goals, objectives, mission statement
3) THE PEOPLE who run this org, and the heart and soul behind each of them! Always easy to get someone on the phone and get the help you need!
I have had the honor of being a volunteer of the Boot Campaign. I stared volunteering with them at their start, back in 2009. I have been close enough to see the money come in, and go straight into the hands of the men women, children and family members of our nations bravest and most deserving heroes. There is no better feeling to know that donating my time and money is appreciated, and placed exactly where I am told it goes. My life has been changed by the selflessness of every person on this team. From the Board of Directors, to the part time employees, every person is there for the right reasons. I am proud to call myself a supporter of this Campaign.
For those of you that have not heard about the Boot Campaign yet, I certainly encourage you to check it out. What an amazing charity, and a great group of professional volunteers and employees. I love that the campaign gives back to all branches of services. Dedicated and hardworking, the Boot Campaign comes up with great new ways to promote all the partner charities they support.

Our family has made a donation to the Boot Campaign for three consecutive years, with the amount increasing each year. The founders and staff of the organization are extremely creative and entrepreneurial; they are also completely dedicated and focused on helping those who have helped secure the freedoms we all enjoy. Based on my experience with other charities, it is also my belief that the Boot Campaign is above-average in terms of the amount of resources actually directed toward programming rather than on administration or fund-raising. As long as we continue to be in a position to do so, my wife and plan to continue our support of the Boot Campaign.
I have a son, Marcus Burleson who was injured in Afghanistan on December 9, 2011. He is still recovering at Walter Reed in Bethesda MD. The Boot Campaign has been Great! I have worked with Sherri Reuland and Gwenith Lammers, these two lady's are amazing and they have now helped my son enjoy some freedoms he has long awaited.

Bates Footwear is proud to work with the Boot Campaign and provide footwear for their amazing organization. Their teams dedication to giving back and being able to involve the community through great events is truly honorable. We look forward to a great 2013 and beyond.
I have been fortunate to prosper in the current poor market and have searched for an organization that is dedicated to help our service men and women, who I feel deserve our gratitude for the selfless acts they have to perform to ensure our safety and prosperity. It is a travesty how they are treated by our government (past and current). I have been very impressed by the programs that the Boot Campaign provide to them to help them get on their feet. I researched several organizations and have found this one to be one of the best at actually providing a helping hand, not a hand out. God bless our troops and the Boot Campaign for being there to help them. I hope for the day when they are not needed but until then I plan to do all I can to support them as long as they continue this needed and appreciated endeavor.
What an amazing organization. I've seen first hand how the funds they raise go DIRECTLY to the support of our veterans.
There are so many times in my life I've wondered where the money went- NOT the case with the Boot Campaign. They are so efficient and effective with their resources.
My construction company is very proud to support Boot Campaign by purchasing boots for all my employees to support our troops. Boot Campaign is a great organization that does so much for so many veterans and their families! The boots are great quality and their line of clothing is fun too!
I cant wait to do our own boot shoot picture soon! Thank you Boot Campaign!!!
The Boot Campaign has an amazing track record of outdoing themselves day after day. I'm proud to say I know and enjoy working with the entire team. It's a first class organization that has shown to be very capable of serving those who serve us. We are very blessed at Bates to be a partner to the BC organization and are looking forward to many years of helping BC GIVE BACK!
They are the most well run organization I have ever been in contact with. Any questions or concerns you have are answered almost immediately. Most polite and friendly group of people to deal with from top to bottom.
The Boot Campaign is an amazing origination that has one goal in mind, to GIVE BACK! I am honored that I have had the privilege to be involved with the Boot Campaign on over the past couple of years, it has changed my life to see how many families are touched and reached through this origination. The Boot Campaign does not just talk about helping our military men and women when they come back, they "Put their Boots On", and get it done!
In the past couple of months my family and I have
Been graciously served by Mrs. Sherri and the BC!
The generosity and care of this foundation is amazing.

Very professional organization with a truly unique method of raising funds and marketing. My wife and I have both bought boots from the Boot Campaign and they're so comfortable that I wear mine almost every day. It's a win-win for the supporters and recipients of this great charity.
It has been an honor to watch first hand how the Boot Campaign is positively impacting the lives of our service men and women and their families. The need is grand and the Boot Campaign is dedicated to assisting those deserving heroes!
