DONATE

American military casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan have exceeded 38,000, with over 4,800 fatalities. Eighty percent of the wounded are in the 18-30 age range and face an entire life-time of recovery. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE, with the support of donors, aims to ease our heroes' and their families' burdens through donations to troops and their families, including here in the community by making donations to San Diego military families.

Many people ask, "How can I help wounded veterans?" Remembering fallen soldiers is one of the ways everyone can get involved in supporting our troops. The generosity of supporters like you enables us to offer grants to worthy recipients, to participate in the funding of valuable programs, and to ease the immeasurable weight being shouldered by so few for the benefit of all of us.

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE programs and grants are made possible solely by the generosity of donors; we receive no federal, state or local government support.

"Let us stand united in providing for our wounded, their families, and the families of the fatally wounded. A contribution, large or small, will make a difference in the lives of our courageous service members."

"In a country of nearly three hundred million people, only two and half million serve in the active-duty armed forces, the Reserves and the National Guard. Only these warriors and their families are experiencing the day-to-day sacrifices, small and large, that war requires."

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
