The launch of the Invictus Foundation’s website occurred today; Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Special thanks go to Tharon Knittle of TK Branding and Travis LaFrance of All Pro Webworks for their tireless efforts in collaborating with me to make this Site a reality. Countless hours were spent in ensuring that the Site reflects the seriousness of purpose and dedication it so richly deserves.

The launch of our Site is the first step in the proverbial journey of a thousand miles. The goal of the Site is to be the primary medium through which the Invictus Foundation begins to establish its voice of advocacy to achieve its vision and mission. We believe the voices of a few will swell into the voices of many who will support the Foundation’s objective of building world-class evaluation and treatment centers for those members of our Armed Forces and their families struggling with the invisible wounds of war.

The New Year has arrived and with it, within the next few weeks, the launch of the Invictus Foundation’s website. Our journey began in March of 2010 with the founding of the Invictus Foundation. Our goals and obectives for 2010 was to secure the Foundations’s charter, submit our 1023 for recognition as a 501 c-3 not-for-profit, charitable organization, build out our Board of Trustees and to launch the Foundation’s website late 2010 or early in 2011.  All have been achieved.

In 2011 we look forward to more challenges and opportunities as we begin to develop a broad, deep and sustainable viral grass roots support system for the Invictus Foundation’s vision and mission amongst our Countrymen.  We invite all who have a passion for our cause to join us on our journey.
