SOWW believes that we can truly make a difference in the life of a service member who has chosen to put their safety at risk while defending our freedoms and that has suffered a personal injury. SOWW feels that there is not a more deserving group of individuals than our Special Operation Forces members that frequently stand in harm’s way for the protection of our freedoms, often with little or no recognition.

AMW’s mission is to honor the sacrifice of our Troops, Veterans and their families by providing programs that improve quality of life, healing, resiliency and recovery. Our Helping Heroes Heal Program is providing therapies that heal those with PTS, TBI or suicidal thoughts.
