Our Why
Frontlines United Inc. (Frontlines United) was created to help remove the roadblocks associated with military or first responder reunions. We understand the meaning and value of the brotherhood and sisterhood forged through service to our country and its citizens. It is critical to maintain these relationships. Experiences in the military and first responder fields create a bond that can only be shared by those who’ve lived it.
Reuniting with comrades is a necessary part of life after military service. We aim to remove financial and planning roadblocks in order to make these reunions possible. Frontlines United also hopes to reduce the burden of mental health crises through these experiences. We owe this to our military and first responder communities.
Our Mission
Who we are, what we do
Our mission is simple; to reunite active duty military, veterans, and first responders. It is our passion and honor to promote camaraderie and fellowship for those who have served together.
Our Vision
What we hope to be
Our vision is for everyone who has served our country, is currently serving our country, or working or retired as a first responder in our country, to have the ability and means to reunite with fellow service members or work colleagues.
I haven’t had friends like this since the day I left the Marine Corps over 30 years ago. The moment we reconnected, it was like no time had passed — the laughter, the comfort, the brotherhood. It’s been healing and reminded me I’m not alone or crazy. We all carry the same things, and being together again has filled a part of me I didn’t realize was missing.
I’m Corporal Joe Walker, and this is what this trip meant to me — it was like we never missed a beat. The laughter, the stories, the bond… it felt just like 37 years ago. We fished, we golfed, we laughed, and we reconnected. Thank you to Frontline United, Inc. and everyone who made this possible. Hoorah!
My name is Corporal Ruis. Thanks to Frontlines United, I recently spent five unforgettable days reunited with two of my Marine Corps brothers from Desert Shield and Desert Storm — Corporal Luper and Corporal Walker. After over 30 years apart, the experience was nothing short of life-changing.In the civilian world, it’s easy to feel like you don’t belong. But being back with these men felt like coming home for the first time in decades. Over the years, I’ve lived in multiple states, always searching for a place to fit in — a common struggle among veterans. It wasn’t until I found other veterans at a trade school years ago that I began to reconnect. But this reunion went even deeper.We come from a generation of Marines before the internet and cell phones, so keeping in touch over the years was nearly impossible. These men were more than friends — they were mentors who shaped me at a pivotal moment in my life. I was barely out of boot camp when we deployed, and they took me under their wings, showing me what it meant to live by the standards of a Marine.I owe immense gratitude to Frontlines United, and to Ian and Richard for making this reunion possible. The bond we reignited will last a lifetime. There truly are no words to express what this means. Semper Fi
