Ranger veteran Mitch Schumacher is leading an effort for warriors to grow in their faith, heal from the past, and win life’s battles with Warriors Set Free.

Mitch takes time to develop relationships knowing a Veteran is most comfortable talking to another Veteran about the experiences they have had in a war or military service.
Through the organization's Freedom Appointment, a Veteran is immersed in a Christ-centered experience designed to allow a Veteran to release the memories and thoughts that can weigh a person down. By taking off their rucksack of burdens, the Freedom Appointment allows for recovery, and transformation to take place.

Do you ever wish you could have a second chance? For Ranger Michael Schiltz, that second chance came in a tragic and unexpected way.
Living the life of an Airborne Ranger often sung about in cadences, Mike was faced with his own mortality after an IED blast left him with burns over 70% of his body, arms amputated from the elbow, and daily memories of the loss of his Soldiers. Mike chose life. He chose to fight through his recovery. In doing so, Mike Schiltz is an inspiration providing hope and purpose to thousands of Veterans through his work with a variety of nonprofits such as the Gary Sinise Foundation and GallantFew.
Mike's story is one of perseverance and possibility. Mike's story is #forAmerica.
