Green Beret Foundation
About GBF
The Green Beret Foundation is currently in its start up-phase. We have been diligently working to plan, organize, raise capital and spread awareness of the GBF. In the past, there have been many shortcomings in the care system for our wounded, ill, injured and the families greatly affected within the Special Forces community. We intend to help ease the burdens due to these gaps and hope to build the awareness necessary on some of the most common issues in order to bring about solutions within the care system.
GBF Mission
