Operation Freedom Bird

Operation Freedom Bird is a nonprofit organization based in Chandler, AZ, dedicated to providing a unique Healing Journey for combat veterans from all wars. Each year, 50 selected veterans participate in a four-day visit to Washington, D.C., where they confront their emotions, share experiences, and pay tribute to their fallen comrades at significant memorials, including the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

With a budget under $80,000 annually, Operation Freedom Bird ensures minimal overhead costs, with Southwest Airlines underwriting a substantial portion of airfare. Fundraising efforts include corporate sponsorships, community events such as golf tournaments, and the support of hundreds of volunteers, all aimed at facilitating the healing process for veterans grappling with emotional challenges stemming from their service.
