Veterans Base Camp
A place between here and there...
Our Mission
Advocate for and partner
with veterans, first responders,
service members, their families,
and those at risk in our
community-to identify access,
and secure resources
necessary to achieve their goals.
Our Belief
We Rise By Lifting Others…
The above song track was written and recorded by a veteran who was a special ops medic. He wrote the song for Veterans Base Camp and gifted it to us. It is a beautiful gift and is the heart of why we all do what we can do to support our warriors, their families and the values they fought to protect.
A local and New way to Serve in Chaplin!
