Servicemembers Undertaking Disabled Sports - SUDS

06/18/2026

To our friends at the Deep Sea Divers… thank you.

For 23 years, you’ve shown up, not just with an event, but with unwavering support for our mission and the veterans we serve through Servicemembers Undertaking Disabled Sports (SUDS).

Your Charity Golf Classic is more than a great day on the course: it’s an opportunity for our veterans to get back into the outdoors, to reconnect, to rebuild confidence, and to rediscover what’s possible.

Because of you, lives are being changed.
Because of you, our mission continues to grow.

We are incredibly grateful for your partnership, your generosity, and your belief in what we do.

⛳️ Here’s to another amazing year, and to the impact we’re making together.

—Team SUDS

Some people don't need to be the loudest in the room to make an impact.

Meet Alex - a Marine, a loyal friend, and a talented diver whose quiet strength speaks for itself.

The ocean rewards patience, confidence, and resilience and Alex brings all three to every dive.

Semper Fi, Alex. 🇺🇸🌊

Flag Day hits a little different when you’ve seen what that flag truly represents.

At SUDS, it’s not just a symbol, it’s a story. A story of sacrifice, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of those who have served.

Today, we’re thinking about moments that say it all… like two of our veterans standing side by side, wearing American flag boardshorts, smiling, and strong. No pretense. No speeches. Just quiet pride, hard-earned.

That’s the heart of it.

The flag doesn’t just wave for freedom, it waves for the people who fought for it. For the ones who came home forever changed. For the ones who continue to push forward, redefine limits, and live boldly in ways that inspire all of us.

At SUDS, we get to witness that kind of courage up close. And it never stops meaning something.

🇺🇸 Today we honor the flag…
…and the lives, stories, and sacrifices stitched into every thread.

💙🇺🇸 Congratulations to our friend, Billy Chandler 🇺🇸💙

We’re thrilled to see Army SPC Billy J. Chandler reach an incredible milestone as Homes For Our Troops breaks ground on his specially adapted custom home in Miami, Oklahoma.

If you know Billy, you know he’s the kind of person who leaves an impression. He’s funny, warm, genuine, fiercely loyal, and devoted to his family. Like so many of the veterans we’re honored to know, he has faced life-changing challenges as an amputee with courage and determination.

A home built for independence is more than four walls. It’s freedom, safety, and the opportunity to focus on what matters most: family, community, and living life to the fullest.

Please join us in celebrating Billy and this exciting new chapter. And if you’re in the area, consider supporting the Homes For Our Troops Community Kickoff on Saturday, July 18, 2026, in Miami as they begin building a home that will truly change a life.

Congratulations, Billy! We can’t wait to see what the future holds. 🏡❤️

Happy Sunday morning! ☀️🌊

Take a moment to slow down and enjoy an underwater ballet with SUDS. 😅🩰💃🕺

This footage comes from one of our Puerto Rico adventures back in 2014, where a team of adaptive divers proved that the ocean has a way of making limitations disappear. Watch as one of our above-knee amputee veterans effortlessly glides through the water with a jet pack and experiences the simple joy of being weightless. 🧘‍♀️

These are the moments that have defined SUDS for nearly 20 years: adventure, healing, and freedom beneath the surface.

If you enjoy this little trip back through the archives, we'd love for you to like the video, follow along, and subscribe to our YouTube channel!! We have many more stories and memories to share as we celebrate the incredible journey of SUDS.

Before the thousands of dives, the countless adventures, and the incredible community that SUDS has become, there were a few veterans, a few volunteers, and a simple belief that adventure could help change lives.

We recently took a trip down memory lane and rediscovered this video from one of our early scuba adventures in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, more than a decade ago. Looking back, it's amazing to see how far we've come and how many lives have been touched along the way.

As we begin looking ahead to SUDS' 20th anniversary next year, we're also looking back at the moments that helped shape our mission and our family.

Take a few minutes to watch this piece of SUDS history on our YouTube channel. While you're there, we'd be grateful if you'd like the video, subscribe to the channel, and follow along as we continue sharing stories from the past, present, and future of SUDS.

The adventure is far from over. 🌊🇺🇸
