Mission and programs · 2022

• MISSION: RECONSTRUCT FREEDOM: ACUTE BURN CARE FOR BURNED MILITARY PERSONNEL, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND FAMILIES IS EXCELLENT IN THE U.S. AND CONSIDERED THE BEST IN THE WORLD. HOWEVER, ONCE SURVIVAL FROM A BURN INJURY IS ACHIEVED, FOLLOW-UP CARE AND RECONSTRUCTION FOR COMPLETE FUNCTIONALITY AND ACCEPTABLE COSMETIC RESULTS IS LACKING. SONS OF THE FLAG HAS RECRUITED A TEAM OF RENOWNED SURGEONS WITH EXTENSIVE RESUMES IN BURN RECONSTRUCTION. SONS OF THE FLAG IDENTIFIES THE SURVIVING BURNED VETERAN OR FIRST RESPONDER IN NEED OF RECONSTRUCTION (WE CURRENTLY MAINTAIN A PATIENT PIPELINE). SKYPE IS UTILIZED TO ALLOW THE RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGEONS TO EVALUATE AND RECORD RECONSTRUCTIVE NEEDS AND PLAN THE PROCEDURES REQUIRED TO IMPROVE THE PATIENT. THE PATIENT IS TRANSPORTED, UNDERGOES THE NECESSARY PROCEDURES, AND RECEIVES MENTAL SUPPORT, AS NECESSARY. ONCE THE CARE IS COMPLETE, THE SURVIVOR JOINS A REGISTRY SO FUTURE NEEDS CAN BE RECOGNIZED AND ADDRESSED.

• MEDICAL FELLOWSHIPS: ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN BURN ASSOCIATION, APPROXIMATELY 486,000 PEOPLE ARE BURNED SEVERELY ENOUGH EACH YEAR TO REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. MEDICAL FELLOWSHIPS AT RESPECTED INSTITUTIONS THAT OFFER EXTENDED POST-SURGICAL TRAINING IN BURN-CARE, TRAUMA SURGERY AND SURGICAL CRITICAL CARE AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES TO CONDUCT BASIC AND CLINICAL RESEARCH ARE CRITICALLY NEEDED. FELLOWSHIPS PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN HELPING MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS EDUCATE THE NEXT GENERATION OF PHYSICIANS, RESEARCHERS, AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS WHILE ALSO ENHANCING THE MEDICAL CENTER'S ABILITY TO RECRUIT SOME OF THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS IN MEDICINE. THE NEED FOR MORE BURN SPECIALISTS IS GREAT, AND ONE OF THE WAYS TO INCREASE THOSE NUMBERS IS TO OFFER FELLOWSHIPS THAT CAN SPARK THE INTEREST OF YOUNG PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL STUDENTS, THEREBY CREATING OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE ADVANCES IN UNDERSTANDING THE MECHANISMS OF BURN RESPONSES AND DISCOVER NEW AVENUES OF TREATMENT.

  Expenses $139,499 · Grants $180,000

• TASK FORE FIREFIGHTER SUPPORT PROGRAM: FIREFIGHTERS, BY THE NATURE OF THEIR PROFESSION, ARE GENERALLY OUR MOST LIKELY BENEFICIARIES OF WHAT SONS OF THE FLAG DOES ON A REGULAR BASIS. OUR TASK FORCE PROGRAM HELPS FIREFIGHTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES, WHEN A FIREFIGHTER SUFFERS A BURN INJURY. SOME OF THESE FIREFIGHTERS ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO RECOVER FROM BURNS THAT OCCURRED YEARS AGO.SONS OF THE FLAG HAS ALSO FORMED A NATIONAL TASK FORCE COMPRISED OF FIREFIGHTERS WHO WANT TO SPREAD THE WORD OF WHAT SONS OF THE FLAG STANDS FOR AND OUR MISSION TO REVOLUTIONIZE BURN CARE FOR VETERANS, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND FAMILIES.

  Expenses $84,667

• BURN UNIT NEEDS, INDIVIDUAL BURN SURVIVOR REQUESTS, AND PEDIATRIC BURN SURVIVOR SUPPORT:SOTF RECEIVES CAPITAL FUNDING REQUESTS FROM BURN UNITS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO PAY FOR VARIOUS NEEDS WITHIN THE BURN UNIT, INCLUDING EQUIPMENT, BURN SURVIVOR SUPPORT GROUPS, ETC. EACH REQUEST IS FULLY VETTED, AND CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN FOR FUNDING. SOTF MAINTAINS AN ON-LINE APPLICATION FOR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, WHETHER THE SURVIVOR NEEDS ASSISTANCE WITH PAYING FOR BURN CARE GARMENTS AND MEDICATIONS, EMERGENT NEEDS, AND REALLY ANY FUNDING NEEDS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE FOR A VETERAN OR A FIRST-RESPONDER SUFFERING FROM A BURN INJURY.

• BRIGHTER THAN THE FIRE FIRE SAFETY AND PREVENTION PROGRAM:BRIGHTER THAN THE FIRE IS A SONS OF THE FLAG PROGRAM THAT FOCUS ON EDUCATING AND RAISING AWARENESS OF POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDS IN THE WORKPLACE, SCHOOLS, AND ESPECIALLY IN THE HOME, WHETHER IT BE A FREE-STANDING HOME OR AN APARTMENT BUILDING. OUR GOAL WITH THIS PROGRAM IS TO ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS AND THOSE IN A POSITION OF BUILDING MANAGEMENT, TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT THE DANGEROUS WAYS THAT A FIRE COULD IGNITE, SPREAD, AND ISSUES WITH CONTAINMENT, AND PROACTIVELY MITIGATE THOSE RISKS. THIS PROGRAM WORKS WITH LIKE-MINDED FIRE-PREVENTION ORGANIZATIONS, FIREFIGHTERS, AND INDIVIDUALS TO EDUCATE, AND EVENTUALLY EVEN POLITICIANS TO TRY AND ENHANCE SAFETY MEASURES AND ENFORCE BUILDING CODES, WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO BE EFFECTIVE OVER TIME. WHILE WE KNOW THAT NOT EVERY FIRE CAN BE PREVENTED, MITIGATING THE NUMBER OF FIRES IN APARTMENT AND OFFICE BUILDINGS, AND ACCIDENTS IN THE HOME TO ALLEVIATE EVEN ONE PERSON FROM SUFFERING WOULD BE A HUGE WIN FOR OUR OVERARCHING MISSION TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD OF BURN CARE.
