The Price of Freedom Foundation tells the Life Stories of those who paid the Ultimate Price for our freedom - those who die while serving in our nation’s armed forces.
Every person who paid this price deserves to be remembered and their sacrifice honored. Their lives had meaning and potential that was cut short. They left behind families and friends who loved them, and who grieve their loss.
We believe the best way to honor their sacrifice, help those left behind through their grief, and preserve their memories for future generations is to write their life story from beginning to end, and provide archival quality, hardbound editions of the book to the next of kin at no cost to them.

Veterans Bridge Home is a Charlotte-based organization that connects Veterans and their families, in any state of transition, to the community. Through our network of partners, we help Veterans navigate employment, create social connections, and settle their families. We look at the whole Veteran and connect them to the resources needed to be successful and thriving leaders in our community.
After the regimen and sacrifice of military duty, transition to civilian life can be challenging as Veterans reunite with their families, pursue a new profession, locate services which were all on base, and build a social network. In some cases they also recover from wounds and also pursue further education. Veterans Bridge Home serves as an entry point for Veterans who don’t know where to turn to access support and services. Because Veterans return home to a civilian community and not to federal agencies or bureaucracies, each community must reach out and actively assist in the reintegration process alongside federal agencies such as the Veterans Administration.
The greater Charlotte region has the opportunity and privilege to help bring our nation’s warriors and their families home with the same energy and commitment that our Veterans have displayed in serving our nation. In so doing, ours will serve as a leader to inform other communities that wish to create more welcoming and livable communities for returning Veterans and their families.
Arming our riders to successfully combat PTSD and return to the mission of authentic living.
