Home of the Brave

Home of the Brave provides a vacation home for up to 7 days at no charge - where combat veterans and their families can spend quality time together - away from the normal stresses and interruptions of life. Founder Tina Pearson was inspired to create Home of the Brave following a conversation with a friend who shared the difficulties of getting to know her young son again after she returned from s

erving in Iraq. The story made Tina wonder what could have been done to make the transition easier. The answer came to her while mowing the lawn a few weeks later: Why not offer her home - located on a quiet country road - to military families dealing with the stress of combat deployments? They also mentioned that the wounded warriors at their hospital could benefit from some time away from their recovery. As a result, the existing home was renovated to make it handicapped accessible and a separate residence was built for Tina. The community responded to the opening of Home of the Brave with an outpouring of support in gratitude to the men and women of the US Military. The 3 bedroom, handicapped accessible home is located in the country - allowing for bike rides, BBQ's and board games. However, only 25 minutes away, families will find Ocean City's Boardwalk, beaches and plenty of other outdoor activities.
