GUARDIANS PLAY A critical role IN ENSURING every veteran has a safe and memorable experience.
Guardians stay by the side of their Veteran from the time of departure until their return. Specific duties are provided at a mandatory training session several weeks prior to the trip, and include but are not limited to providing one’s assigned Veteran with physical assistance, logistical support, and companionship. Guardians are asked to make a minimum donation of $400 to cover the cost of their own trip expenses, but contributions in larger amounts are much appreciated. Communication is exclusively by email, so Guardians must provide an email address that they monitor frequently.
