The Need
Support LSF
For over 10 years, America has been engaged in conflicts
that have required every service branch, every type of
military specialty, and every individual experience level
to go to combat. The reality is, many of these service
members are not fully ready for what they encounter
in war.
Thank you for your consideration of support to LSF. Please
contact Amy Miller at (903) 830-5443 for further questions
regarding LSF and its programs.

Many come home with both visible and invisible injuries
that will forever change their lives. The most serious of
these injuries require unique interventions not always
available in government institutions.
Without treatment, our service member’s injuries can
have a negative impact on the quality of life for our
military men and women and their loved ones. Focused,
innovative treatment can provide tools to improve their
overall quality of life and ultimately their future.
“Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) may persist well after
separation from military
service… [there is] twice the
risk of PTSD in discharged and
retired OEF/OIF soldiers as
in active-duty soldiers.”
- PTSD Research Quarterly
“Many OEF/OIF Veterans
have experienced a mild
traumatic brain injury
AND ALSO have
PTSD related to their
combat experience.”
- Department of Veterans Affairs
“60-80 percent of soldiers
who have other blast injuries
may also have traumatic
brain injuries.”

Our Mission
Our Vision
The Ranch Vision
The Lone Survivor Foundation (LSF) restores, empowers,
and renews hope for our wounded warriors and their
families using therapeutic support, health and wellness,
inspiration, and nature, while emphasizing camaraderie,
understanding, respect, and pride.
The vision of the LSF is to provide exceptional therapeutic,
outdoor, and unique opportunities that optimize recovery and
healing of affected American wounded service members and
their families. The vision includes developing a referral system
to support the full spectrum of healing and transformation for
the wounded service member and their family.
One part of the LSF vision is to establish a ranch facility
that will provide a center of excellence and will allow
the LSF team to run short- and medium-term retreats
tailored to the unique outdoor support LSF provides.
The LSF team is actively seeking land donations, special
lease options, or the eventual purchase of the ranch
property depending on budget capabilities.
LSF’s primary goal is to help wounded warriors and
families now. Until the capital is raised to activate the
ranch vision, LSF continues to host wellness retreats at
various donated facilities.
Funding
The LSF team is focused on executing the best programs,
while creating an environment of efficiency and
accountability. Funding for LSF comes from a number of
sources including individual donors, donor advice funds,
and corporations.
LSF REtrEAts
LSF retreats are focused on wellness and therapeutic support for service members and their families. The goal is to take individuals and
families out of their normal environment, open the mind and emotions, and provide tools for moving forward successfully.
LSF retreats:
Are geared toward similar injury profiles, and if deemed necessary, individuals and families are invited to experience multiple
retreats to help them move past significant issues.
Are currently five days in length and are held once a month. LSF is executing a generalized protocol that remains flexible to the
specific group’s or individual’s needs.
Provide participants with several benefits including relaxation, peer network development, understanding of the issues,
understanding of various tools and resources, and a renewed outlook for their future.
