Build Connection. Foster Healing. Transform Lives.
Warrior Bonfire brings combat-wounded Purple Heart recipients and their spouses together through shared experiences, outdoor adventure, and peer connection—creating space for healing to begin.
Support a WarriorThe Battle Doesn’t End When The Uniform Comes Off
For many combat-wounded veterans, the battle doesn't end when the uniform comes off. Physical and emotional wounds can affect relationships, purpose, and identity, leaving veterans feeling isolated.
Sometimes what a veteran needs isn't another appointment—it's connection with fellow warriors who understand, a sense of belonging, and a place where healing can begin.
Our Mission
Building Connection. Fostering Healing. Transforming Lives.
At Warrior Bonfire, healing begins with connection. Through shared experiences, meaningful adventures, and lifelong support, we bring Purple Heart recipients and their spouses together to build relationships, foster healing, and rediscover purpose.
Our mission is built on three pillars:
Build Connection. Reduce isolation and create lasting friendships among warriors and spouses who understand.
Foster Healing. Provide safe, supportive environments that encourage well-being, personal growth, and healing.
Transform Lives. Empower Purple Hearts to rediscover purpose, strengthen relationships, and lead fulfilling lives.
More than a retreat. A lifelong community of connection, healing, and purpose.

American Patriot Adventures Boston was another incredible weekend of peer support as Purple Heart veterans explored historic Boston by Duck Boat, tossed tea into Boston Harbor, and climbed aboard the legendary USS Constitution. |
"The time spent with fellow combat wounded, laughing, crying, messing with each other, helps put guys in a mind frame and comfort zone to let their guard down a bit, just enough, to start seeing that they CAN make it work, find a purpose again, and be alright with the appreciation shown to them by so many good Patriots who are around at WBP events."
