Operation Once in a Lifetime takes 34 Veterans & Active Duty Service Members to Arlington National Cemetery for our 7th annual Closure Trip.

Operation Once in a Lifetime teamed up with one of our biggest supporters, 2-time Super Bowl Champion and former Pittsburgh Steeler Safety Troy Polamalu, at the Mecum Auction.

Operation Once in a Lifetime creates some once in a lifetime memories and experiences for some Active Duty Service Members, Veterans  and their families by taking them on a once in a lifetime trip to Colorado.

From one of the families we helped thanks to the support we received:
“I just wanted to email you and everyone that helped us and tell you how thankful we are for your help. If it wasn’t for you guys, then we wouldn’t have been able to pull Christmas off this year. I was trying so hard to try to make ends meet to be able to buy gifts for my kids, but I started to realize I was not going to be able to, especially when I lost my job due to COVID.

I absolutely do not like to ask for help. It’s just something that’s really hard for me to do. So I prayed about it and God blessed us with you guys. It really was a light in the darkness. So again thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we will soon like to be able to express our gratitude by donating or something when we can. God bless each and every one of you that helped us this Christmas. I hope that 2021 is a blessed year for you. Todd Nicolas
