Op300 believes that when a member of our Armed Services gives their life in defense of our great nation, the least we can do is pledge to honor that sacrifice by caring for their family. This is the heart behind Operation 300. Operation 300 cares for families of fallen heroes by multiple programs, community outreach and partnerships. One of Op300’s main programs is an adventure camp for children who have lost a parent as a result of military service. Each child is paired with a father or mother aged mentor who spends the weekend doing things with the children they might have done with their own parent. Op300 also provides Gold Star Father retreats, advocates for Gold Star families, helps step in during a need of crisis and promotes patriotism throughout it’s community through events and fundraisers.
