Operation Crusade was born from a profound desire to bridge the gap between military service and mental wellness, grounded in the belief that faith and community are the strongest foundations for healing. Our journey began with a single call for support and has grown into a mission to walk alongside veterans, offering the compassion and courage they deserve as they face the challenges of life after service.  

During Andrew’s time in the military, he witnessed the devastating impact of suicide within his unit. After one of his brothers in his company took his own life, Andrew knew something had to change. Out of that pain and conviction, his passion to start a nonprofit—Operation Crusade—was born.
