Our Mission
Is to assist, honor,and support the military men and women/service members/personnel who have so bravely served and sacrificed for our country. We further vow to help the seriously injured who are assigned to Naval Regional Medical Center, Camp Pendleton Naval Hospital, 29 Palms and Fort Irwin as well as those who are going through rehabilitation in the San Diego area.
Since being formed live on air at 760AM KFMB Radio, and in partnership with the San Diego Navy League Council, which gives us our status as a 501c3 Foundation, we have been able to help our warriors both financially and with gifts in kind.
The Warrior Foundation has taken on a life of its own. We offer a very direct avenue for patriotic citizens to help assist those who are fighting the war against terrorism. We have FOUR GROUPS of Warriors which the Foundation will now, with your generous support, be able to continue helping.
Our FIRST GROUP are the S.I.’s or Seriously Injured who come home from Iraq or Afghanistan via Germany with immediate needs, both medical and emotional. We fly in family members and provide them with accommodations, transportation, and anything else that will enable them to just concentrate on helping their Warrior with his or her recovery.
The SECOND GROUPof Warriors have suffered from exposure to blast from IED’s, some even from as many as seven different explosions. The Warrior Foundation has been able to provide over 2000 Laptop computers to those Warriors located in the Veterans Brain and Injury Center, to help with their short term memory loss.
Those in our THIRD GROUPhave been going through physical and/or occupational therapy for 4 years or longer. These are the Warriors whom we have been able to help in numerous ways. Through the help and generosity of our patriotic contributors and volunteers, we have been able to provide a new kitchen and computer café, as well as a 10-man, wheelchair capable minibus and van to help transport these Warriors to different events throughout San Diego County. The most important thing we have been able to do for our Warriors for the past couple of years has been to place a round trip ticket into each and every one of our Warriors’ hands so that they could wake up in their own hometowns and in their own beds on Christmas morning with their families.
Finally, our FOURTH GROUP group are those Warriors who have been medically
retired and remain in our community. We want to keep these great citizens in the San Diego area where we can continue to help them as they transition back into
civilian life. In working with these Warriors, they have told us that what they need and want is a place called Freedom Station—a support center to assist with the transition back into civilian life—which had its grand opening on May 27th, 2011.
We ask you to help us in this journey to provide a center for our ‘heroes of sacrifice’ and to help them forge the road to recovery and education in pursuit of their dreams.
The Board of Directors of Freedom Station USA, and its President, Sandy Lehmkuhler, are proud to announce that Freedom Station held it’s long anticipated grand opening on May 27th, 2011 and is now home to some very amazing current and former members of our armed forces. The fact that Freedom Station has finally
become a reality is from the many local and national private donations we have received. To keep this facility going, we will continue to need your support. If you would like to send a donation, please mail your check to:
