Since I have been working with Us4Warriors, I have seen first hand all the hard work, time and effort that goes into making each of their events a great success! A very informative place to learn about the service members and their families and their day to day struggles. Us4Warriors really goes above and beyond in reaching the community in making sure their struggles are less!

I have been to so many other charities as a volunteer, and this is the only non profit organization that has effectively portrayed the care and concern that they have for the military community. Active duty, veterans, AND their family members can come here. They turn down no one in the government workforce. 10/10 recommend

As a Board member with US4WARRIORS, I strive to emphasize and repeat the Greatest Generation's esprit de corps from WWII as an unparalleled example of sacrifice and effort for our country at every possible level from the military defending our freedoms to the true spirit, ingenuity and untiring support at the Homefront by all our citizens.

As a combat veteran in Vietnam and recording the era as a Navy photographer, I became locked into a profession that is a visual communications bonanza. Wanting to support a veteran's cause I help support and document the efforts behind one of the finest service groups and charity for many of our needy citizens; Us4Warriors.

It is important to document our place in life as we did over 75 years ago. The generosity of the group has always amazed me reflecting the American spirit of our military, volunteers, citizen soldiers and of course our veterans helping to help others in times of need.

I have been observing the Us4Warrors Foundation for several years now seeing them active in the community mobilizing volunteers for events like "Stand Down" and addressing food insecurity among Military & Veteran Families. After having the opportunity of working along side the Us4Warriors Foundation one year at a back-to-school event, I was hooked! Energized and inspired by their dedicated "Warrior Volunteer Force" and the active "Board of Doers", I joined the Team! I encourage any and all, both Military/Veteran and Community Members alike to join us in service and support!

I have worked with many non-profit groups in very senior/board positions. Working with US4Warriors is one of the best use of my time and money. They serve where others don’t, they work at the grass roots level to give those who served and are still serving relief where others cannot. Their board serves work no pay and often give out of their own pockets and each one of them is a Veteran serving from Vietnam to present day. I thank God for such a great group.

I gave money to this organization and I am very happy that I did. So many organizations out there with claims of doing stuff, but these guys really do a lot. I like to support good organizations. When I hear of a group, I like to check them out to see if they do all that they claim. These guys are pretty humble, I believe, because they share a little bit and then when you investigate, they do a lot! Really impressed with their programs and the way they treat people. I have donated more than once and proud each time! Thanks, Us4Warriors!

US4Warriors, although small and 100% volunteer-based, utilizes its resources and funding to its maximum potential. It does this through its different programs, which include food for warriors, wheelchairs for warriors, combat 2 comedy and advocating for veteran owned businesses, just to name a few. Us4Warriors thinks of only Veterans, active duty and their families and never themselves with every mission they accomplish. They also have great events that put every dollar toward helping the military community.
