Who We Are - Operation Skyfall
Our Story
Our founding team, all veterans themselves, understood that traditional awareness campaigns, while important, weren't breaking through the noise. We needed something extraordinary—something that would capture global attention and demonstrate that veterans are capable of incredible things when given proper support.
The idea crystallized during a conversation about extreme sports and their therapeutic benefits for veterans dealing with PTSD and depression. Skydiving, with its demand for absolute trust, courage, and teamwork, became the perfect metaphor for the support system every veteran deserves.
On June 6, 2026—the anniversary of D-Day—we will attempt to break the world record for the longest distance skydiving formation. This date is no coincidence; it represents the same spirit of courage and sacrifice that our organization seeks to honor and support.
But our mission extends far beyond a single day. Through ongoing fundraising, education, and advocacy, Operation Skyfall® is building a sustainable movement that will provide resources, hope, and healing for veterans across the nation.Our vision is to create a world where every child has access to quality education, healthcare, and basic needs. We believe that by investing in children, we are investing in the future of our society.
