About Us

We became a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation on September 03, 2009 to provide a forum for combat wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan war and their families to bring honor and respect to those who have served our great nation. Wounded soldiers and their families from all across our country are brought to Panama City Beach twice a year to enjoy a four to five day retreat hosted by local businesses. These retreats are made possible by the many generous donations from our community.

Our son, Sgt. Joshua Cope (retired) and his wife, Erica… are our Heroes. They have turned tragedy into triumph. It hasn’t been an easy journey… they have chosen to persevere amidst unimaginable hardships… their lives are an inspiration to us all.

On November 12, 2006, Joshua was severely wounded by an IED blast in Bagdad, Iraq. He lost both of his legs above the knee and both of his hands were injured. We have witnessed first hand, the tenacity of the American Soldier. We’ve also witnessed first hand, the love and compassion of an American Soldier’s wife- Erica.

When a soldier goes to war, a family goes to war… Lest We Forget…

Let us all come together to bring hope and healing to so many heroes and their families. We all have something to give. We can make a difference… together.
