Interactions with Wounded Warriors at Fort Sam Houston and experiences with military personnel at various global bases deeply impacted one foundation board member, instilling a profound understanding of the sacrifices made by America’s service members and their families. That perspective, fueled and combined with the inspiration of others, led to the creation of the Veterans Memorial & Support Foundation, whose core mission is to honor and support veterans and their families while educating the public about their enduring commitment to America’s freedom.

Following years of persistent effort, the Foundation successfully built and dedicated The Flame of Liberty Memorial in Los Gatos, California, a tribute to active service members, veterans, first responders, and 9/11 heroes. Throughout its history, the Foundation has continued to serve veterans with programs to include educational events, support breakfasts, care packages for deployed troops, and more.

Dr. Clyde Horn, a Vietnam Infantry Army Veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and licensed therapist, uses his experiences and expertise to help fellow Veterans through the Veterans Memorial & Support Foundation’s weekly Veterans Support Breakfasts, where they connect, heal, and navigate challenges like PTSD and discuss issues of interest to Veterans. We invite you to learn more and join us to walk this journey together.

Trauma is a life-altering experience that impacts the mind, body, and relationships, often leading to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with symptoms such as intrusive memories, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Licensed therapist Dr. Clyde Horn emphasizes that seeking support is essential for recovery and that overcoming PTSD requires courage, with the reassurance that hope for healing is always possible.
