“Weekends like this matter more than people realize.”
That’s how this Special Forces spouse described her experience at the Trust’s Mettle & Moxie.
She said something simple, but powerful:
“This weekend gave us time — real time — to break away and breathe again.”
She shared how the resources provided through Mettle & Moxie help her and her family reconnect intentionally:
Guided conversations that helped them open up
Activities designed to rebuild closeness
Support that reminded them they weren’t alone
Space to step out of survival mode and into true connection
What stood out most in her testimonial was how she described the impact:
“We were able to recharge, rebuild, rejuvenate… and even respark what felt worn down.”
For many families in the Regiment, these weekends are more than a retreat — they’re a reset button. A moment to reclaim what service demands of them year after year.
She ended her message speaking not just for herself, but for countless SF families:
“Programs like this are essential.
They give us the time we lose, the tools we need, and the reminder that our community matters.”
Your support makes these weekends possible — giving families the opportunity to reconnect, restore, and return home stronger together.
On average, it costs the Trust around $2500 for a family of four to attend a Mettle & Moxie event. Will you help support a family to attend and strengthen the families who strengthen the Regiment? Donate today. Text “SFT2025” to 50155.
