NO ONE KNOWS SPECIAL OPERATORS
LIKE SPECIAL OPERATORS

At The Honor Foundation, we embody the Special Operations Forces (SOF) community because we are them. Our programs were developed by SOF operators for SOF operators. Our Foundation is run by former SOF operators and the SOF Truths are interwoven into the very fabric of our organization. Our team holds ourselves to their same impeccable standards because we understand them, live them and lead with them. The men and women we serve -- our brothers and sisters -- are a part of us and we'll work tirelessly to serve them and this community with honor, for life.
