Boots on the Ground was founded in 2022 by a committee dedicated to serving veterans in our area. It is our mission to serve veterans in a trauma informed way. We are veterans helping and empowering our military family. We are striving to educate and raise awareness to military specific issues. Boots on the Ground is here to support veterans that are in need, and it is our belief that we- as a community- can do better to support those that served the United States.

Mission Statement

Upcoming: Veteran's Day Ruck March

On November 08, 2025, Boots on the Ground will host the forth annual ruck march to raise awareness for veteran suicide.

Your help is instrumental in providing access to the support veterans deserve.

Veterans taught me that the power of their community is far greater than the sum of each of their individuals’ talents. Veterans get better together, and they continue to give back to the nation together. As a community, they are unstoppable.
