Our Heroes Journey - Adopting Deployed & Combat Wounded

Our Heroes Journey is a major project of Our Fallen Soldier which is a 501 (3) c Non-Profit organization that was established in August of 2006.  The Founder, The Colnot family, established Our Fallen Soldier after the death of their son Sgt. Kyle Colnot.  Kyle was killed in action (KIA) on 22nd of April 2006 while serving his 2nd tour of duty in Iraq.

Our Heroes Journey was created in 2009 to meet the needs of the thousands of service members throughout the country that for the first time in American history have faced a war that has spanned a entire decade.  This has meant multiple deployments for many of our military service members.  Many have spent more time in combat then they have at home with their families in recent years!  This has caused significant strain for our military families. 

The founders of Our Fallen Soldier through their daily interactions with military throughout the nation have become painfully aware of the daily stresses this has placed on the military and their families!   Our Heroes Journey was established to embrace these families before, during and after deployment to assist these families and ease the many transitions they face.

Our Heroes Journey adopts whole units, squadrons and battalions at the onset of deployment and follows these families through the entire deployment process.

"Operation Military Brats": Our Heroes Journey offers clothing and baby item "giveaways" to children on military bases on a regular basis.  OHJ works in collaboration with a "Spin Again" a childrens clothing store and consignment to make these giveaways possible!  This helps elevate the financial stresses a bit with providing some much needed basics for these well deserving military kids and their families!
