A chance to reboot and make new veteran friendships with other veterans across the country. Sometimes 1 vet leaning on another vet is just what the doctor ordered. www.thefreedom13.org After our son; Marine Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz was murdered in Kabul Afghanistan on Aug 26, 2021 it shook our world to the core. Our son will never get married, have his own children or start his own career path, hell he couldn’t even have a legal alcoholic beverage in his favorite restaurant because he was killed before his 21st birthday. Events of that tragic day swept under the rug for the world NOT to see. This never should have happened….this didn’t need to happen. Well we do know what needs to happen. Our veterans and their families deserve to have a fighting chance on our own soil. They need organizations to have their back so with that we formed The Freedom 13 nonprofit. Our mission is simple….we will help our veterans and their families who sacrificed some if not all of their lives for this country. We have decided to focus on housing and their mental well being. All veterans are heroes in our eyes; signing on the dotted line was just their first act. Now that so many have returned home from so many different wars there is no reason anyone of these incredible Americans should EVER be left out in the cold, without shelter, without proper medical care and without dignity. Suicide rate studies show a US serviceman commits suicide every 90 mins of everyday on average which is unimaginable. Things need to change they must change. We have thrown our hat in the ring and have heeded the call to help. Show less
