What a great day at the ballpark! ⚾🇺🇸

Thank you to all of the Veterans, Service Members, and Military Families who joined us for our NWFL Adventure Series at the Pensacola Blue Wahoos game. From burgers and hotdogs on the party deck to cheering on the Blue Wahoos, it was an afternoon full of connection, community, and fun.

We’re grateful to our partners at the Pensacola Blue Wahoos for helping create opportunities that bring our military community together.

Missed this event? You can still find us at all Wednesday Blue Wahoos home games this season—stop by our table, say hello, and learn more about how Home Base is serving Veterans and their families across Florida.

This PTSD Awareness Month, we’re grateful for partners like the The Blue Angels Foundation who are helping make recovery possible for Veterans and Military Families.

At Home Base Florida, we know healing looks different for everyone—but access to care, connection, and support can change lives. Through the Blue Angels Foundation’s support, more Veterans are finding pathways to evidence-based treatment, community, and hope.

Thank you for standing with those who have served and helping ensure no Veteran has to walk the journey alone. 💙🇺🇸

Recovery is possible! And no veteran should have to walk that journey alone.

At the Blue Angels Foundation, we are proud to support organizations that provide life changing care, treatment, and resources to veterans from all branches of service and their families.

Through partnerships with organizations like Home Base, Warrior Canine Connection, and Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, we help connect veterans to evidence-based treatment, peer support, service dogs, and pathways to healing.

Every recovery journey looks different, but one thing remains the same: support matters.

This PTSD Awareness Month, we remain committed to helping ensure every veteran knows that hope, healing, and recovery are possible.

We’re growing — and excited to welcome Lauren Rodriguez to the Home Base Florida team! 🎉

Lauren joins us as Program Coordinator for our SWFL Warrior Health & Fitness Program. A United States Coast Guard veteran, Exercise Science professional, and longtime member of the Home Base Florida community, Lauren’s journey with Home Base began as a participant seeking support while navigating the challenges of transition, recovery, and rebuilding her health.

Through clinical care, Warrior Health & Fitness and our Adventure Series events, she found community, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose — and now she’s bringing that experience full circle to help support other Veterans and Military Families.

From participant to team member, Lauren’s story is a powerful reminder of the impact of connection and care. Please join us in welcoming her to the team! 💙🇺🇸

Special thanks to Thunder Performance in Fort Myers for hosting a Murph Challenge fundraiser to help raise awareness about our programs and support for Veterans and Military Families across Florida.

Challenge Accepted! 🏃‍♂️💪 🇺🇸

During the week of Memorial Day, Veterans and Military Families in our SWFL Warrior Health and Fitness Program participated in the Murph Challenge. The Murph Challenge is a grueling CrossFit workout that honors fallen US Navy Seal LT Michael Murphy who was killed in action in Afghanistan and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions. "Murph" was his favorite physical training routine.

This was a true test of discipline, effort, and gratitude for those who gave everything in service and we are proud of the effort put in by our participants, trainers and staff during this Memorial Day Murph.
