Here we grow again!  

Operation Appreciation would like to extend a heartfelt "thank you" for the dedication, determination, and professionalism in the companies noted below for assisting OpA with our additional land acquisition and fundraising. This process has been complicated and time consuming due to unforeseen title issues and their combined teamwork offered the solution that ultimately ended in our closing.

Each of the companies below donated their professional service AND financial support for this veteran initiative.


Now Operation Appreciation turns to the future with capital fundraising for another mountain resort that will offer wellness retreats for our disabled veterans.  It has been our humble pleasure over the past 4 years to buy land, build Red, White & Bear, and host veterans.  We have seen first hand the life saving benefits a wellness retreat offers to our American Heroes and are excited to expand on our support resources.

OpA needs your financial support to reach our construction goals.
