While there are many organizations out there to help Veterans, there are very few that carry such a concise focus on the "how" like Defenders of Freedom does.
Fabulous organization that changes lives of veterans one person at a time. They are a true gift to so many!!!

I was the President of the Frisco Lakes Veterans group for 10 years. We held charity golf tournament yearly since 2010. The DOF was the primary beneficiary because of the work they do and the assistance of Gulf War veterans. The willingness of a generation to go to war is directly related to how the current generation treats their veterans . They have done a outstanding job of helping current veterans. About 90% of their funds go directly to veterans.
This is a tremendous nonprofit doing amazing work with Veterans who have suffered brain injuries. Its programs are changing and saving lives. It helps with family reintegration and strengthing the family unit.
Committed to EXCELLENCE in all they do! Defenders of Freedom continues to fulfill the obligation of the government and every citizen of the United States as President Abraham Lincoln stated in his second inaugural address, "to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan"
EXCELLENCE in care for our wounded
EXCELLENCE in support for veterans and their families
EXCELLENCE in stewardship of donor's dollars
EXCELLENCE in compassion and commitment to TBI diagnosis and treatment
A board of directors who take no compensation so the money raised goes directly to those most in need
Defenders of Freedom is the real deal
One of the only nonprofits I will give my money to. I have seen first hand that the donations are given to those that need it most.
There was a surgical nurse who had problems when she returned from Iraq. She had not been given the opportunity to meet any soldiers after they went through rehab and therefore thought her part in cutting their limbs off was a terrible thing. When Defenders found out about this situation they brought the nurse to their golf tournament to spend the day with some of the amputees. Her life changed that day, she is now a mother and has a happy life because someone took the time to do one small thing that made a difference to her. When you make a donation to an organization it helps to know how your money is being spent and this organization has changed alot of soldiers lives starting with one small thing.
