Charity & Giving VetCV Teaming Partner
As part of our work to bring the resources Veterans and their families need, VetCV is proud to support and partner with Max-Well Respite Center (Max-Well), a non-profit that serves America's Veterans by providing fellowship and mentoring opportunities through recreational activities. Max-Well provides a supportive environment enabling Veterans to continue the healing process, so they can focus on their future and reconcile the traumatic events of their past in a healthy and constructive environment.
VetCV CEO, Niels Andersen and LtCol. Dave Glassman first met in 2007 as part of Congressman Jeff Miller's leadership team spearheading the first Emerald Coast Honor Flight to fly World War II veterans living in Northwest Florida to Washington, DC to visit the World War II memorial. They immediately recognized that they share a common mission and over the years, have supported each other in a number of initiatives supporting Veterans and their families. Join us and Max-Well in their mission to help heal our Veterans, hearts and minds through camaraderie, esprit de corps and memorable experiences.

AHERO (America's Heroes Enjoying Recreation Outdoors) connects Veterans with patriotic members of local communities by organizing outdoor events and social activities. Their goal is to heal the physical and psychological wounds of war and military service by:
- Introducing Veterans to resources and programs available to them to increase their overall quality of life
- Developing an informal support network of Veterans across the country
- Encouraging constructive communication and engagement
- Boosting morale
The AHERO team understands the challenges today's war Veterans face in reengaging the civilian world. AHERO has no paid staff members and keeps our overhead and administrative costs between 2%-6% of funds raised annually.
AHERO was conceived and founded by Major Lee Stuckey, U.S. Marine Corps. Maj. Stuckey has served three combat tours in Iraq and has been awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with a "V" device for Actions of Valor during combat, Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, Combat Action Ribbon and other military ribbons/medals for outstanding service.
Lee's brain injury, coupled with the emotional trauma of several combat deployments, led him to the edge of suicide. Lee was tired of dealing with the nightmares and stress and put a gun to his head. As he was pulling the trigger, his cell phone rang and displayed the word "Mom." He immediately dropped the pistol and realized he needed help. As a Marine Corps Officer, Lee recognized that if he was struggling with psychological issues, thousands of Veterans must be silently suffering in similar ways. Lee began visiting Walter Reed Hospital and other military hospitals across the country, connecting with the servicemen and women he met at these facilities. He was deeply affected by the physical and emotional injuries many servicemen and women had endured. Approximately 22 Veterans a day die by suicide. Lee's new mission was to lower these numbers by sharing his story and reaching as many Veterans as possible, before it was too late.
