“Our mission is to provide life-changing opportunities for men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who have suffered severe injuries and need the support of grateful communities to realize their dreams.”
Since 9/11, for every American who has died in battle, dozens more have survived, thanks to cutting edge medical care. That means, unlike any other time in history, many more severely wounded are coming home, faced with the challenges of putting their lives back together.
Sentinels Of Freedom provides four year “life scholarships” to help vets become self- sufficient. Our vets are finding that once they’re released from the hospital, they face the everyday hardships of finding a home, continuing their education, or going to work to support their families. Every American faces the same difficulties, but in the vet’s case, the situation is made more difficult because of their sacrifice.
Sentinels succeeds because whole communities come forward to help. Local businesses and individuals not only give money, but also time, goods and services, housing and transportation.
For soldiers who nearly lost their lives in war, leaving the hospital is only the first battle they face.
That's why a group of Gwinnett veterans and leaders want to create a support system and a home for one of the most severely disabled Iraq veterans.

 It can cost up to $25,000 a year for four years, per life scholarship recipient to help these young warriors get the jump-start back into civilian life that they need.
Whatever your beliefs regarding our military presence in the Middle East, supporting our troops is a cause that can unify us. We are not a politically motivated organization, instead we are a helping-hands group with a deep appreciation for the sacrifices our men and women in the military make, and a profound respect for their drive to rehabilitate after severe injury and make a place for themselves and their families in a civilian world.
