PHO’s success since its founding by Army veteran Billy Hodges in 2006 has been achieved through the selfless dedication of sporting enthusiasts, the generosity of supporters across the country and by the acceptance and appreciation of those we seek to honor. Our all-volunteer team uses their experience and lessons learned from planning and hosting activities for wounded veterans and active-duty personnel to work as facilitators with interested host families and organizations to offer activities and events that meet everyone’s goals.

"Patriots and Heroes gave me more than just a weekend of fishing - it gave me peace, joy, and a renewed sense of connection and appreciation. I’ll carry this experience with me for a lifetime."
