The success of the Afghanistan Humanitarian Aid efforts enabled an unprecedented creation of a massive network of NGOs that extended to Ukraine Coordination that currently still exists under a dedicated Executive Director and her amazing team. All operations transitioned to her dedicated team and we are proud to see her passionate work daily.
We took lessons learned from both massive endeavors and decided to start giving back at home, where it all started, the military family household. We re-focused on human factors education and service-based team of teams networking. We believe that is the model for success in personal crisis all the way to national crisis or contingency. The result was the formation of the, Fight’s On program, Order of the Smoke Network, the P.A.C.E. Project and the FamFirst Clothing apparel brand. All of which raise money through morale and camaraderie based swag and merch, social media connections and virtual events.

See what we’re all about in the slide deck below.
