The Mendleton Foundation
Description
Mendleton Foundation was formed to connect veterans, active duty, and other service members together within the community and support each other. Who We Are:
The Mendleton Foundation was created in 2015 by David Hackman and Michael Moss, both veterans of the Navy and Marine Corps respectively. Beyond our founders Mendleton is supported by active duty and veteran volunteers from all of our armed services. As of May 2016 Mendleton has just over 24,000 members.
How We Are Unique:
Mendleton was first established as an online forum for veterans and active duty members alike to reach out and connect with one another. Today Mendleton is a recognized 501(c)(3) charity, and will use any funds collected to hold events, and to help any qualifying veteran or active duty service member who reaches out to us.
How We Raise Funding:
The Mendleton Foundation relies completely on donations from generous individuals, corporations, other foundations, and by our own community. We do not however receive government funding or use direct mail campaigns. Mendleton also fundraises through the many events that we hold for our members and community.
Our Philosophy:
Here at Mendleton our ideals are simple. The military life is not an easy one. Our service members have experienced hardships both abroad and at home. The military has an established support network, but it often falls short. We at Mendleton are here to fill that gap. Through our online forum and events, Mendleton provides an outlet to connect both Active Duty and veterans, and to raise awareness for the many problems affecting our service members including suicide.
Looking Forward:
The Mendleton Foundation will continue to rely on generous donations for us to continue to operate our online forum and social events. The foundation plans on raising as much awareness for our military community through multiple events to include but not limited to, beach cookouts, camping retreats, gun shoots, and volunteer events.
The Mendleton Foundation is forever grateful to those who have contributed, and continue to support our mission and ideals.

We have been contacted by someone who is in possession of an MIA bracelet for Major Laurent L. Gourley. It was purchased 33 years ago in DC. We are looking for his family in order to return it to them. Please share and help us find them.
