Our mission, aptly named “None Left Behind,” underscores our commitment to serving and uplifting the military, veteran, and first responder communities. We strive to strengthen the bonds within our elite families by offering a comprehensive network of resources and support programs. With a focus on specific activities designed to foster mindfulness and personal growth, we ensure that our Heroes and their families have the tools they need to succeed. From financial relief to invaluable assistance, SOCN is dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to protecting our nation. Join us on this extraordinary journey as we celebrate the resilience and strength of our military, veteran, and first responder communities. Together, we can unlock the potential within each individual and create a brighter future for all! Our Unique & Empowering Vision:
Special Operations Charity Network (SOCN) is proud to present our innovative and ongoing Mindfulness Initiative “Find Your Tribe”. Through this groundbreaking project, we aim to provide unwavering support to our military, veterans, and first responders, empowering them to embrace the present moment and thrive! History:
From SOCN's first days in 2015 thru 2018, American Warrior Legends Night (AWLN) brought together generous patriots, decorated heroes, and carefully qualified charities to celebrate the exceptional nature of our country and our elite heroes. AWLN memorialized all that is exceptional about America while joining forces to raise awareness and funds for these worthy causes. Today, SOCN is determined to nurture the lives and memories of our nation's heroes and their families via our new "Find Your Tribe" Initiative. Please feel free to check into the "Find Your Tribe" Initiative by going to our website's home page: www.specopscharity.com and clicking on the "Find Your Tribe" link at the top of the page ! God Bless America and God Bless our Warriors and First Responders!!

INTEGRATION 2026

This past weekend, something pretty extraordinary happened at Cuivre River State Park in Missouri.

For three days, Veterans, First Responders, their families, members of the public, and world-class practitioners from across the country came together for Integration 2026, presented by the Grunt Style Foundation, and Irreverent Warriors, Inc..

It was an honor and pleasure to contribute all three days and to return for my third year as part of this remarkable gathering.

More than 25 facilitators offered 26 different sessions and experiences spanning equine-assisted therapy, breathwork, meditation, hypnosis, EMDR, cold-water immersion, creative arts, Indigenous traditions, nutrition, energy work, and much more.

I was grateful to once again share The Incense Journey™, introducing participants to the ancient Japanese practice of incense as a pathway to presence, reflection, and connection.

But the real story of Integration is the people. It is what happens when individuals from different backgrounds gather with curiosity and a willingness to explore new approaches to wellness, healing, and human connection.

A HUGE thank you to Spec Ops Water, the Special Operations Charity Network (SOCN), and Lifetime Media, for supporting my participation this year, and to the Grunt Style Foundation, Irreverent Warriors, organizers, volunteers, fellow practitioners, and everyone who made Integration 2026 possible.

Three years in, I remain deeply grateful to contribute to this growing community.

If this sounds like something you would like to experience, stay connected. Learn more about The Incense Journey™, upcoming events, and join my email distribution list at:

John Launius, Director of Community Outreach for SOCN is at Integration Weekend along with Irreverent Warriors and GSF, introducing vets and LE to “The Incense Journey”, based on a very powerful 1500 yr old practice that assists to relieving current stress and addressing PTS/PTSD; the Samurai used this practice during their era in Feudal Japan.

What if health and wellness meant more than simply “being okay”?

What if we permitted ourselves to explore what it means to be well; physically, mentally, emotionally, and, dare I say it… spiritually?

September 18–20, I’ll be joining an extraordinary group of people at INTEGRATION 2026, presented by the Grunt Style Foundation at Cuivre River State Park in Troy, Missouri.

While Veterans and First Responders are at the heart of this gathering, hear me clearly:

You are invited.�Your friends are invited.�Your family is invited.�Everyone is invited.

This three-day experience brings together 20+ facilitators offering more than 20 different sessions and experiences—equine-assisted therapy, breathwork, meditation, yoga, qigong, cold-water immersion, traditional blacksmithing, creative writing, Lakota spirituality and sweat lodge, hypnosis, wellness education, community, and much more.

I’ll also be there sharing The Incense Journey™, using the ancient Japanese art and practice of incense as an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and explore that quieter space within ourselves.

There is no single path to wellness. That may be the most important point of INTEGRATION. Come curious. Experience something different. Meet good people. Have conversations you might not have anywhere else.

Veteran. First Responder. Civilian. Friend. Family. Human being.

There is a place for you.

Join us September 18–20 at Cuivre River State Park.

Bring someone with you. You never know which experience, or which conversation, might make a profound difference.
