We Don’t Know Them All,
But We OWE Them All.
Our mission is to positively impact Veterans and First Responders by providing programs specifically designed to address their individual and familial mental health, connection, resilience, and camaraderie.
Our Story
In the aftermath of selfless service to our nation, some of our bravest veterans and first responders return home with unseen wounds – the harrowing burden of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is their resilience, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication that inspired us to embark on a mission to make a difference.
Join us in this journey of healing and hope for heroes. Together, we can rewrite the narrative of PTSD, turning it from a tale of darkness to one of courage, triumph, and newfound purpose. Our story is a testament to the power of compassion, support, and the indomitable spirit of those who have served.
Our Team
Faun O’Neel
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Faun O’Neel is a national advocate for Veterans and their Caregivers, who founded Warfighter Overwatch to end Veteran suicide. She has firsthand experience of the impact of battle on those who serve, and started her mission to support her husband through his own struggles with suicidality and trauma. As an Elizabeth Dole Foundation Fellow for the State of California, Faun began speaking to lawmakers and the Department of Veterans Affairs to bring about change in the treatment of mental health. Faun now leads a volunteer-based nonprofit that creates and deploys tangible programming to support those who sacrifice everything for our country. She has served as a Department of Veterans Affairs Caregiver mentor since 2016 and is a subject matter expert for Psycharmor on raising a family with a wounded spouse. Faun is known as “the grunt whisperer” for her ability to connect with battle-hardened heroes and encourage them to open up and seek treatment.
Danny O’Neel
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Danny O’Neel was born and raised in Northern California. Signing up for the Army on 9/11 as a Forward Observer at 19, drastically changed the course of his life. Instead of climbing the corporate ladder, he quickly climbed the ranks to sergeant and became a squad leader in only 17 months! Though Danny thought he would be headed to Afghanistan, the Army had other ideas, instead sending him to Iraq -twice. Though the first tour was mostly uneventful, the second trip to Sadr City was a deadly year. Nine of Danny’s brothers lost their lives that year. Sadly, 15 members of his unit have taken their own lives in the aftermath, including his company commander.
Danny now works as a peer mentor, helping his fellow Veterans come home from the battlefield; and as a motivational speaker. His mission to continue serving is not just inspirational, it’ll motivate you to get in the fight!
