“The first time I rode the all-terrain wheelchair up that trail with my son, I felt like myself again—not a patient, not a statistic, but a dad. That chair didn’t just carry me. It carried my spirit back to life.”

— Sergeant Alex R., U.S. Army Veteran, OIF/OEF

Every hero deserves to come home to a life of health, clarity, and purpose. At Operation Wellness Shield, we believe that support for our nation's bravest—Veterans and First Responders—shouldn’t end when the uniform comes off. The battles they face after service are often invisible but just as real. Mental health challenges, chronic fatigue, inflammation, and unexplained health conditions are common—but they don’t have to be a life sentence.

Imagine dedicating your life to serving others, only to discover years later that the price of that service is your ability to have children. For many, that reality leads to depression, relationship stress, and a deep sense of loss.

But we can change that outcome.
