Partnership
“The Green Beret Foundation was built on the belief that strength in mind, body, and spirit extends beyond the individual soldier to the entire family. These expeditions give our Special Forces families the chance to reconnect with each other and with the incredible natural spaces that make this country worth defending.”
President & CEO, Green Beret Foundation
“These families have given so much in service to our country, and we are proud to help provide experiences that foster resilience, strengthen family bonds, and create lasting memories in our nation’s parks and public lands.”
