Deepening Our Commitment
New Board Role with Operation Not Forgotten
At Faith and Honor, our vision is rooted in service, companionship, and healing — values we are honored to share with Operation Not Forgotten, a well-respected leader in veteran support. Today, we are humbled and excited to announce a new chapter in our collaboration.
Rev. Dominick Leon, Executive Director of Faith and Honor and Lead Pastor of The Faith and Honor Ministry, is now serving on the Board of Directors for Life Renewed / Operation Not Forgotten. This appointment strengthens our shared mission to lift veterans and their families in four vital areas: mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. operationnotforgotten.com
Why This Matters

A Shared Journey, Expanded Reach

Together, with Life Renewed, we offer free, confidential, veteran-run support groups (male, female, family, youth tracks), optional QOLA assessments, life coaching resources, and a community that “has your six.” operationnotforgotten.com
Looking Ahead
