Veterans Overcoming Obstacles

05/27/2025

As a smaller non-profit, the support we receive from our community is not just appreciated—it’s life changing. Every donation, every shared post, every volunteer hour fuels our mission and directly impacts the lives of the veterans we serve. Unlike larger organizations, we feel every act of kindness in a deeply personal way. Your support helps us create real change—offering hope, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose to those who’ve sacrificed so much. Together, we’re not just helping—we’re transforming lives.

Joseph Barnes has always had our back, hes a huge part of why we are successful. He challenged his company to support and donate to Veterans Overcoming Obstacles and he/they came through huge, with a $1500 sponsorship. Joe you are family and we appreciate you more than we can express!!!

Words can never do justice to the debt we as a nation owe to thier sacrifice.

For 250 years when our great nation has called the men & women of the United States military have always answered.

It began June 14th 1775 the creation of the Continental Army (birth of the U.S Army), 4 months later October 13th the U.S Navy was born and on November 10th the United States Marine Corps came to exist. 1915 the Coast Gaurd was born to protect and serve, the Air Force joined the other branches in 1947. It has been a sacred honor to take the oath of enlistment regardless of branch.

Through the reveloution, WWI & WWII, Viet Nam, Korea and all conflicts since they have lived up to that enlistment that pledge and they have sacrificed. Since 1775 the U.S military has suffered Approximately 1.1 million death.

Memorial Day is thier day, its is the militarys most sacred day. We offer those who have sacrificed a simple pledge "to always honor & to always remember".

Here at Vo2 we simply ask you to take a moment to honor and remember those brave souls that gave you everything they had so you can enjoy everything you have.
