This is our Call to Action

Filmed, Edited, and Produced by the wonderful team at Lighthouse Films

It started as a mission to bring our brothers home

but developed into reconnecting a tribe.

Our initial mission is simple in concept: to foster and nurture a community of Veterans within the greater Wilmington, NC, area. In other words, to connect our “TRIBE.” We are moving toward this goal by spreading renewed public awareness of the Veteran Suicide epidemic while creating a database of special interest groups, including trained counselors, to help when times get tough. Focusing on our immediate area helps maintain physical accessibility. It’s a BOOTS-ON-THE-GROUND RESPONSE that combats the feeling of isolation veterans experience. 

Our ultimate vision is to develop a physical location where Veterans and their families can gather freely without stress around various activities, classes, meals, and a shared space.

Please consider a donation to Operation: Purpose. We are an IRS approved 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization. Your support will help carry the light to those in need.
