About Us
Operation second chance
We are a 501 (c) 3 organization, who support wounded service
members during their recovery and assist them as they transition back
to duty or civilian life. Since
OSC’s beginning in 2004,
we have met hundreds of
brave heroes; each one
facing great challenges
with determination and
strength. OSC understands
that we have 1% of the
population protecting the
other 99% of us. They put
their lives on the line each
and every day. OSC is proud to serve those that selflessly serve and
protect us.
History
OSC began in 2004 when President and Founder, Cindy McGrew
learned of seven soldiers that were injured and en route to
Walter Reed National Military
Medical Center (WRNMMC).
She Immediately sent emails
to the families to offer her
support and assistance. From
that day, life long bonds and
friendships developed. Not
long afterwards, Cindy was
joined by her friends, Debbie
and Alaina Sacramo, in her
daily visits to WRNMMC.
Over the years, OSC has
grown. This simple mission became something much larger than
they had imagined.
Mission statement
“We are patriotic citizens committed to serving our
wounded, injured and ill combat veterans. We support
Veterans and their families by building relationships
and identifying and supporting immediate needs
and interests. We are dedicated to promoting public
awareness of the many sacrifices made by our Armed
Forces.”
Our Programs
Retreats
Operation Second Chance recognizes the stress families experience
from combat-related trauma and the importance of strong family
support. One of the many ways
OSC assists our wounded, ill,
and injured heroes and their
families is by providing retreats
that facilitate this part of their
recovery process.
We offer two different types
of retreats; We provide short
local overnight trips to those
who need a quick getaway,
and week-long retreats held
in Maryland, Texas, Florida,
Colorado,
Montana,
South
Dakota, and Alaska (with many
more being planned) for those
veterans who are further
along in their recovery.
All
OSC retreats are all-inclusive and have no cost to our recovering
service members and their families.

Operation NPLB aids in the recovery and rehabilitation of injured
service members from all eras who must endure the lifelong
sacrifices made for our country. NPLB supports injured Soldiers,
Sailors, Coasties, Airman, and Marines by reintroducing them to
hunting, fishing and life outdoors. Volunteers offer their time
and skills to aid in the
emotional recovery of our
veterans through outdoor
activities with fellowship
and the encouragement to
overcome any disability.
NPLB was founded by
Americans who love this
country for its founding
values, and its veterans
for all they stand for. The
sacrifices our veterans
make will never be forgotten and Operation Second Chance will
continue to do all we can to give back to the men and women of
our Armed Forces.
