Freedom Alliance treats our wounded troops to amazing adventures to help them advance their rehabilitation.

Because they were wounded in the most violent places on earth, we take them to the most beautiful and peaceful settings to help them heal. The Great Outdoors is often the best medication for treating the lingering wounds of war.

We give veterans opportunities for peer-to-peer counseling and mentorship from people they trust. Quality time in a positive environment with supportive friends is essential for their well-being and recovery and the solitude of nature provides the perfect setting.

Eligibility requirements:

  • Outdoor Adventures are open to service members and veterans who have been wounded by enemy action post 09/11/2001 or serve in the special operations community and have multiple deployments.
  • Combat veterans are selected to attend the outings in select groups based on commonalities provided in the applications–from deployment areas and times, similar burdens, and other factors.

The first step in becoming involved with Freedom Alliance is completing our easy online application!

Matt & Bonnie Lutynski with LtCol Oliver North aboard the Freedom Cruise.

Matt Lutynski is a 17-year Air Force veteran who spent nearly 10 years overseas. He is 100 percent disabled, and walks with a cane, and will soon be confined to a wheelchair. Matt joined us for a fishing weekend we hosted. It was his first experience, but since then he and his family have participated in many Freedom Alliance programs. One day, a note from Matt arrived in the mail with this message:

You have no idea what Freedom Alliance has done for me. I can – with all honesty and seriousness – say that Freedom Alliance has saved my life and also my marriage… I feel that I owe you everything for what you have done for me.

Matt Lutynski, USAF (Ret.)
