Troops First Foundation Incorporated

Operation reintegration:beyond our larger programs and initiatives, the foundation interacts on a daily basis with injured service members. Time spent meeting warriors and their families, building relationships and gaining trust so as to facilitate meaningful future assistance during the many stages of recovery has enabled us to develop a network within the warrior care landscape. Operation reintegration serves as a catch-all for these daily activities with in-patients, out-patients and those who have returned home and their families. Because each individual has varying needs, the foundation assists with everyday situations such as grocery shopping and buying gym clothes for physical therapy that fit over their prosthetics. The foundation's goal is to be available for the needs of our warriors as they arise.24/7 battle buddies:24/7 battle buddies is a program that matches canines to wounded military veterans who have served in iraq and afghanistan. Each 24/7 battle buddy is carefully selected for their partner. The training is then specific to the warrior's needs and intended to assist in successfully navigating everyday life.

Leroy petry village of honor:most often when a warrior is severely wounded in combat, a protracted recovery process begins. There are many stages in the recovery process, and each recovery is unique to the individual warrior. However, all must go through a medical evaluation known as the med board. This usually starts when most medical procedures are complete and therapeutic services are well underway. The med board can take from nine months to almost two years. This is when many warriors most often need and seek additional housing options. In an effort to continue with the foundation's mission of developing relevant initiatives to assist warriors with reintegrating back to civilian life, the leroy petry village of honor has been built. This is a transitional housing program that consists of seven single family accessible homes. These homes are available for a one to two year period to warriors and their families who are transitioning out of the military after injuries sustained in combat.warrior call ranch:as the warrior call initiative grows through in-person and virtual engagements, individualized responses providing various types of assistance and the planned launch of national warrior call day, the foundation has established yet another viable resource under the warrior call umbrella the warrior call ranch.the warrior call ranch is a six-bedroom, 10,500 square foot facility located in mount airy, maryland on 35 mostly wooded acres.
