About VFF

Forged through purpose. United by resilience. Driven to serve.

​

At Valor Forged Foundation, our mission is deeply personal. Founded by military veteran and former police sergeant Tyler Stromeyer and military veteran Nate Andrews, we’ve lived the realities of service—and the even greater challenges that can follow. We’ve walked the path from the battlefield and the front lines to civilian life, and we know the gaps that exist in traditional support systems.

​

We started this foundation because we saw too many of our brothers and sisters falling through the cracks. Veterans, disabled veterans, first responders, and active-duty military are often left without the tools, resources, or support networks they need to thrive—not just survive.​
 

Who We Serve

• Active Duty Military Personnel

• Veterans

• Disabled Veterans

• First Responders
   

What We Do

We build programs that are rooted in lived experience and designed to meet real needs. Our core pillars:

• Connection – Fostering brotherhood, belonging, and mentorship in spaces that promote healing and camaraderie.

• Resilience – Providing access to mental health resources, peer support, and adaptive fitness programs to build strength inside and out.

• Purpose – Guiding individuals toward renewed purpose through volunteerism, leadership development, and career-readiness support.
   

More Than a Mission

This isn’t just another nonprofit—it’s a mission forged from experience, fueled by dedication, and built on a deep commitment to those who give everything for us. Whether it's navigating life after service, managing visible or invisible injuries, or simply needing a place to reconnect and heal—we are here.
