A Note From The Founder

They are men and women of honor, courage, and commitment with a heart of service. They proudly protect, defend, and advance America. They undergo the most intensive and comprehensive physical and mental training.  They are the elite team that is often behind the scenes countering terrorism, completing search and rescue missions, and performing offensive raids. In their line of duty, they are often injured and deal with daily, chronic pain and debilitating mental health challenges… yet they have the determination to keep going, keep deploying, keep serving YOU and the country they love.

A significant majority of Warfighters will incur irreparable damage to their bodies (Spine, neck, knees, shoulders, etc.) that directly impacts their quality of life. We are all aware that the human body can not withstand prolonged exposure to the force that is exerted on us by our jobs. There’s only so many hits we (Operators, Cops, Firefighters) can take. I’ve watched operators who are barely able to bend down to tie their shoe limp through the hallways in pain. I know operators who have taken several trips to see a Nero-surgeons to get epidurals or injections to numb that  pain so they can continue to pass on knowledge to the next generation, or deploy for their country.
 

These injuries are severe, but they barely scratch the surface. 

Now, we stand with them in support to help them prevent chronic health issues, heal ongoing pain, and be protected from further damage. Much of the equipment, support, and funds needed for treatment and prevention are not accessible to these brave heroes. They’ve served us, and now we are serving them by providing solutions, care, and hope.

Dedicated To Supporting Those Behind The Scenes.

We all owe our safety and quality of life to the brave men & women who protect, defend & advance America through their daily sacrifices in our Special Forces. Now is your chance to tell them “thank you,” not only with your words, but also with your actions. Here are some of the ways we are seeking to provide support:

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION

Make A Donation To Make A Difference

Together we can be the hope they need.  Every contribution makes both a visible and invisible difference in the physical and mental health of our Special Forces service members. Many of these service members remain unsung heroes due to the clandestine nature of their work. Their stories, their pain, and their challenges may be unfamiliar to you, but they are no less real. American Initiative was founded by Special Operations service members who understand the daily challenges our heroes face and the ongoing impact to their bodies and minds. It is our goal to provide the proper equipment to aid in mitigating injuries and continued damage to preexisting injuries. We’re seeking to head these injuries off at the pass, before these heroes are allocated to the mass quantities of broken veterans our nation still struggles to support. Make a donation today, and make a difference where it matters.

MEET OUR FOUNDERS

Founded By Special Operations Forces Service Members On A Mission To Change Lives

Joey Edwards
Founder

Joey Edwards is a Special Warfare Combat Crewman, 200ton maritime master of yachts, heavy weapons expert. combative instructor, industrial + organizational psychologist & management consultant. In his 8 years of service he’s fused his spine and damaged a disc to the point of nerve trauma/chronic pain.  “We can’t stop these injuries from happening, but we can offer the  gear needed to aid in recovery, rehabilitation, longevity, and quality of life.”

Warren Smith
Vice President

Warren is an 8th-year Naval Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen. Over the years his chronic back and neck pain led to multiple X-rays and an inguinal hernia surgery. The commonality of early onset, chronic injuries  in his community led him to his passion for this project. “We are here to ensure that our fellow teammates can walk this line of work comfortably and efficiently, while minimizing long-term impact to their bodies and minds.” 

DON'T JUST TAKE IT FROM US...

What Your Heroes Have To Say

We’ve talked to dozens of counterparts in the special operations forces community about the desperate need for physical and mental health support. These men and women deal with chronic, debilitating pain every day and struggle to get the equipment and medical attention they need due to long wait times and lagging supplies.
