The Bonfire Program was a great way to reconnect with fellow veterans and engage in multiple outdoor activities including: fishing, horse riding, hiking, etc. The 4 day weekend that I experienced in Colorado among fellow veterans was amazing. I was able to open up and talk about events that took place overseas during combat situations. The most unique experience was meeting veterans from WWII and Vietnam. Being able to express myself with them was very therapeutic. I look forward to their events because they help me. The staff and volunteers do an amazing job making sure everything runs smoothly. Thank you for your support!
Warrior bonfire programs has all kind of events that allow wounded vets to spend time and enjoy themselves with other wounded vets while enjoying an event
To whom it may concern:
I've been a volunteer of Warrior Bonfire Program for a few years now.
Like many others, my time is a limited resource that I give very carefully.
And there are a myriad of nonprofits that need help.
And when I made the decision to joint WBP, it was an easy one.
Why? So glad you asked...
The volunteers and board members that serve this nonprofit, and more specifically/importantly, the veterans, do so with all the love and passion in the world.
This is a labor of love for all, and it is contagious.
Everyone in a supporting role at WBP truly cares deeply for our country's veterans, especially those wounded in battle, sacrificing themselves for our freedom.
That is something I can easily get behind.
Even more important - IT WORKS!! So many veterans have attended the WBP and most give glowing recommendations and feedback of the event.
Without getting into details of what we do, the Warrior Bonfire Program brings veterans together, specifically purple heart recipients (wounded in battle), and provides them with a safe place to share their experiences with other veterans of whom share similar life experiences. I couldn't say how this works, it just does. Something magic in the fire perhaps.
Veterans walk away saying WPB is better than any therapist/psychiatrist they've ever talked with.
Getting those results for veterans in America fills me with a sense of purpose. That's what WBP is all about - a group of humble citizens supporting the brave men and women of our military, and giving them a solution that truly could mean life or death one day.
I'm available for additional discussion/comments if necessary.

The Warrior Bonfire Program is not just an organization, but a Family of Veterans that are committed to improving the quality of life for Purple Heart recipients. Great program and family of brothers and sisters.
Amazing organization! I had the opportunity to attend the Best Little Air Show in the World, and blessed! I walked away with more confidence in myself, a better sense of pride and so many new friends. Thank you isn't enough!
This is a great organization that provide Purple Heart veterans the opportunity to heal emotionally.
My Dad was in the Navy and served in World War II. He then became a NYC policeman. Always serving his country. His Cousins and Uncles also served in the War. The Warrior Bonfire Program is certainly an organization that he would approve of. I personally know of some friends who devote a tremendous amount of time and effort to honor and respect all the men and women who have risked their lives for our Country. They arrange an annual outing which includes fishing, golfing, dinner etc as part of their tremendous thanks for these brave people that risk their lives for us everyday. The program helps to put a smile on their faces and helps them to forget the pain and suffering they have endured. I am happy to do my small part by donating to this worthy cause.
Went on a sc deer and duck hunt last yr. Had a great time and met some new friends. Bonfire is a great organization. They care about vets.
I volunteer with the WBP. Great people do this for the right reason. They have a very large percentage of money raised going directly to the veterans. They do this with a very small staff and lot of hard working volunteers. I've personally met many of the veterans they serve. The WBP is helping some well deserved combat wounded veterans.

This was the first military charity I have supported since 9/11 that supports only 9/11 Vets. So many new charities popped up after 9/11 I didn't quite know who to trust. By trust I mean who would make the best use of the resources given to them. After vetting the Warrior Bonfire Program I learned that the mission is well thought out. The resources given are maximized with a low staff cost and max investment in the Veterans served. That is why I personally invest my time helping fundraise and providing support the to the staff. Lastly, the leaders and advisors of the group only care about how they can reach and help more Veterans. Every meeting we have is all about the Veterans and how we can be better and reach more Vets in need.
It has been a great pleasure for me to be a volunteer with this amazing program. I began volunteering at the Clay Skeet Shoot in 2016 and have remained active since. I can't thank our veterans enough for the sacrifice they make for me to enjoy the freedom I experience each and every day. So, to be involved with improving the lifelong journey and healing of these Purple Heart recipients is a way for me to say thank you to each and every sacrifice made. God bless you all.

I became involved with the Warrior Bonfire Program about 3 years ago. As a Realtor, I am always looking for new ways to support and give back to the community. One of my regrets in life is that I was not a veteran. When I found your program I dove in and thought this is an opportunity to say thank you to all who gave the ultimate sacrifice and for those whose challenging experiences give me the freedom I experience daily. Thank you for being an inspiration and helping these soldiers, and their families to heal and enter back into civilian life in the most positive way possible. Also, thank you for the alumni that are volunteering their time in helping our youth in learning to understand, respect, and admire the moral code of our armed forces.
Warrior Bonfire Program is a very compassionate organization that helps bring together our purple heart veterans for much needed camaraderie of the events they have been through separate but together. There are many caring people involved in this organization that helps our veterans heal from their wounds of war, by bringing veterans together, at no monetary cost to the veteran. We can never do enough for those who protect us but Warrior Bonfire Program gives us a chance to show our appreciation through helping those who have given so much for our freedom. In my opinion, if you want to donate to a worthy cause, you could not pick a more generous, kindhearted organization than Warrior Bonfire Program.
This organization does a great thing for our wounded veterans and their families. We must pull out all the stops for these great men and women.
I went on a trip in March with the Warrior Bonfire program. Their commitment to the emotional health and well being of the veterans they serve is extraordinary. This organization is truly a great non-profit!
The Warrior Bonfire Program saw an opportunity to give back. They charged forward and continue to look ahead. Focusing on post 09/11 Purple Heart warriors takes on a different challenge that has been accepted and very successful.
I have had the opportunity to meet some of their Warriors and they enjoyed every moment. It is personal and fulfilling for all involved. The needs of the Warriors are priority 1!
Warrior Bonfire Program is an organization that I whole heartedly support.
Suicide rates among combat wounded veterans are significantly higher than the national average. Warrior Bonfire works hard to help provide an expanded support network for Purple Heart recipients.
The folks who run this organization are dedicated and hard working. The work they do is important and meaningful.
Amazing group of volunteers that focus their time and energy to wounded warriors. The organization has focus, dedication and commitment to those that have served our nation. A determined organization that believes in teamwork and commitment to those that have served in combat and been wounded. The Warrior Bonfire Program is often where the healing begins and and hope is restored. With such a high suicide rate among our veterans positive outreach programs such as this are indispensable.
This is truly a charity that pours their hearts into veterans! I was part of a recent event, and the relationship built are priceless. Sharing our stories with others, makes those memories just a bit less painful.
I have been associated with the Warrior Bonfire Program for several years and to be able to see the way veterans respond to the care and personal service that is received through the Program is one of the reasons I enjoy supporting the program. Each veteran I have been privledged to meet through the program knows that they are the reason that the program exists and that it is sincerely an honor for the program to serve them. To be able to serve our veterans with the volunteers and the staff of the Warrior Bonfire Program is a true honor.
Warrior Bonfire Program works in a hands-on personal way to help Purple Heart vets who are at risk. They have a low operating overhead so that nearly all money they raise goes directly to serving our vets. Their approach is very beneficial in preventing veterans suicide. The vets who have participated in the program swear by the results and the change WBP has made in their lives. I am proud to work with them to help make a difference.
