USA Vet Adventures

Bob Bowden on August 17, 2026

Richard Boyanton, an Army veteran and a certified Christian counselor, launched USA Vet Adventures on Memorial Day 2026 because I’ve seen too many brothers and sisters struggle with isolation, invisible wounds, and the feeling that no one understands. I face those same struggles. Through faith-based outdoor experiences, we provide veterans with encouragement, fellowship, and hope. But we can’t do it alone. Your financial support makes these life-changing adventures possible and helps us continue serving those who have faithfully served our nation.
