OUR MISSION
"The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it to the full"
John 10:10 (MSB)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) negatively affects a large percentage of military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. We believe that PTSD acts with the same character as a thief; stealing joy, purpose, vision, and even the lives of many who have already lived through wartime trauma. This is an enemy we must defeat.
Operation Ten Ten is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to partner with Texas veterans in their fight against post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Founded in 2024, Operation Ten Ten functions to pair veterans with effective trauma-informed counselors and mental health support on their path to restoration. We are committed to providing a streamlined and more convenient pathway for veterans to access PTSD therapy in our local communities.
​
To ALL our veterans, from all of us at Operation Ten Ten, we are so grateful for your willing sacrifices to protect our freedom. We look forward to partnering with you on your healing journey.
Disclaimer: We are currently in Phase One (which is fundraising/growing our network for our Phase Two launch at the beginning of 2025 - or sooner if resources allow). Our initial focus will be directed toward Texas veterans with plans to expand regionally/nationally thereafter. We would greatly appreciate your help and support as we carry out this incredibly important mission. Together, we will dramatically and positively change the trajectory for many of our servicemen and servicewomen struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The PTSD Problem: By the Numbers
- An estimated 300,000 members of the US Armed Forces have been diagnosed with PTSD since 9/11.
- This accounts for roughly 20% of all veterans who served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (OIF/OEF).
- Unfortunately, out of those veterans diagnosed with PTSD, less than 30% have received formal treatment/therapy.
- Veterans with PTSD are three times more likely to experience suicidal ideation compared to the US adult population.
- Suicide rates amongst veterans have increased 10-fold during the period from 2006 to 2020.
At Operation Ten Ten, we believe we must fight back against this epidemic that is robbing our veterans of the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness they fought to protect for all of us.
Together, we can bring healing and restoration to those who have already sacrificed so much.
