Project Overwatch

The rifle is affixed with a bayonet and inverted, signifying that the Soldier went down fighting. The boots signify the Soldier’s last march onto the battlefield. Dog tags are imprinted with the Soldier’s name, and hung from the rifle so their identity will never be forgotten. The helmet is placed atop the rifle representing what the Soldier stood for, and signifying that their battle is now over.

The Battlefield Cross is a sacred symbol amongst military members. Since a funeral is typically not possible during wartime, these symbols serve as a rallying point where surviving members of a unit can mourn and remember their fallen comrades.

This Memorial Day, reach out to the veterans that you know and give them a simple message: “We Remember.” We remember our country’s fallen, your brothers and sisters, and we appreciate and honor their sacrifice.

God Bless America

One of the classes we hosted at the women’s retreat was facilitated by our amazing Marietta Fire Department, Jamie Durocher! Her class was all about meditation and mindfulness through the five senses! A time to breathe and relax for our ladies!

Our participants can truly relax at our retreats, turning off that hyper vigilance! Some fish, some kayak and some do both! What we know is—these ladies relaxed at the retreat! A much needed break!

We are so thankful for Jenna for all the hard work she puts in to support our first responders!! We also want to thank Sprouts for the continued support as well! Jenna coordinates with so many people to brings smiles to our ladies and we cannot thank her enough!!! Like and follow !

Cotton Patch Quilters in Athens GA and our friend Paula with her group of quilters donated sooooo many beautiful quilts which are true pieces of artwork to@our women first responders! We cannot thank them enough!!!

The last 2.5 weeks has been amazing for Project Overwatch! Between running the women’s mental health and wellness retreat and then taking officers to National Police Week, we have been intentional in spending time with our people! That said, over the next few weeks we will be sharing our memories from these events with you! We are honored to be a part of the lives of such amazing first responders and forever grateful to our sponsor’s! BOLO!!!!

Kickball is a great way to get out some stress! It gets pretty crazy playing kickball with the green team coaches, Marcy and Rachel! Officer Rowan is our team mascot!! Our retreat ladies get a break playing kickball!

Happy Mother’s Day to our women first responders!

Our nighttime glow stick walk is a way that our ladies can burn their trauma! We write our trauma on paper and throw it in the fire! This is a huge relief for many! Letting it go is what we all need to work on so this is a great start for everyone!
