Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

Today we honor all the brave men and women who have selflessly served our country. Your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedom inspire us every day. May this day be a reminder that freedom is never free.

We remember not just your service, but also the families who waited, the sacrifices unseen, the hope that carried you through long nights far from home.

From a grateful nation we salute you, today and always. Thank you for answering the call to serve. Your courage shaped a nation!

"Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they've suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us." - President Ronald Reagan

Our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have selflessly served our nation. Your courage and sacrifice are the foundation of our freedom.

Thank you for your service.

As you spend the day with family and friends, remember the sacrifices others have made for the lives we all enjoy today.

Well, it’s officially official…our August 19th Lake Event has been CANCELED. 😔

We hate to do it as much as you hate to hear it, but the extremely low lake levels along with boat ramp conditions and availability has made conditions unsafe to hold our last summer event of 2023.

Since 2005, this is only the 2nd event we’ve ever had to cancel. Ironically, the first time was due to flooding!

OFAS will definitely be back for the 2024 summer season!⛱️ In the meantime, PRAY FOR RAIN 🌧️ 🙏🏻 and keep an eye on our website and page for more news, updates and upcoming events!

OFAS held its 2nd summer lake event last Saturday. It was a 🥵hot one🥵 and lake levels were low, but we had a great turnout and we’re so glad our military, first responders and their families could join us! Our immense gratitude to each of you for your service and your sacrifice for our country and communities.

Many, many thanks also to all of our hardworking volunteers and to JBSA for allowing OFAS to continue hosting our events. We couldn’t do it without you!

Important information about our August OFAS Event to come, so check back for updates.

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. Of the people, by the people, for the people.

Annnnnnd that a wrap! 🎬

Our first summer event is in the books. The weather was perfect with lots of ☀️, the BBQ was top notch and the smiles were all over the place. We had several new faces mixed in with a few old friends. All and all it was a great day!

The secret to any successful event...teamwork. Let me tell you, it takes a village and they showed up to work. There are to many to mention but if you know you know (iykyk). 😁

OFAS thanks you from the bottom of our sun tanned hearts.

Stayed tuned for more event announcements and general information about our Operation Float a Soldier Family.

Feel free to add your pictures from yesterday's event below in the comments.
