2025 Updates

Operation Once in a Lifetime hosts its 3rd Annual Remembrance Trip to the 9/11 Memorial, taking Veterans, Active Military, Police Officers and Firefighters who were inspired to choose their professions due to the events of 9/11. This trip was especially unique as several of the First Responders were involved in the mass shooting at the Allen, TX Outlets. 

Operation Once in a Lifetime hosts our 7th Annual Closure Trip to Arlington National Cemetery where both Veterans and Active Duty Service Members get to visit the sacred ground of Arlington where so many have given their lives for our country.  For many on this trip they are also seeking closure by visiting their fallen battle buddies for the very first time in their final resting place.  This trip is one of the most emotional experiences we do, but the friendships that come from it last a lifetime.
