"In a country of nearly three hundred million people, only two and half million
serve in the active-duty armed forces, the Reserves and the National Guard. Only
these warriors and their families are experiencing the day-to-day sacrifices, small
and large, that war requires."

American military casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan have exceeded 28,000, with
over 3,500 fatalities. 80% of the wounded are in the 18-30 age range and face an
entire life-time of recovery. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE, with the support
of donors, aims to ease our heroes' and their families' burdens.
The generosity
of supporters like you enables us to offer grants to worthy recipients, to participate
in the funding of valuable programs, and to ease the immeasurable weight being shouldered
by so few for the benefit of all of us.
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE programs
and grants are made possible solely by the generosity of donors; we receive no federal,
state or governmental funding. |

"Let us stand united in providing for our

A service-member is seriously wounded, but his fiancé
does not qualify for Department of Defense travel benefits. The

with the financial assistance they need to get to their loved ones’ side quickly
and easily. More… |

The camp program incorporates the services of professional
