At Paws of War, we believe in the healing power of companionship. Our mission is to bring together veterans, first responders and rescued animals, creating unbreakable bonds that foster healing and mutual understanding.
Our mission is to alleviate the suffering of veterans, first responders and their families, particularly those battling invisible wounds like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), by providing them with loyal service dogs that become not just companions but also catalysts for healing.
Simultaneously, we rescue and rehabilitate dogs and cats in dire straits, often plucking them from the brink of despair and giving them a new chance at life. Our reach extends into war-torn regions, reuniting military personnel with the animals they formed bonds with during service.

OUR MISSION
The Kyle Palmieri Foundation is committed to improving the lives of veterans and their families on Long Island. Recognizing that the challenges of military service don’t end when duty does, the Kyle Palmieri Foundation partners with organizations that deliver hands-on services and essential resources to our veteran community. We raise funds and awareness for programs that address housing and food insecurity, access to healthcare, mental health and counseling services, and promote employment and economic stability.
Beyond individual care, the Kyle Palmieri Foundation also invests in community-based initiatives that strengthen veteran support systems and create opportunities for veterans to connect, heal, and thrive. Our Squad 21 program allows service members and veterans to connect over their service and shared love of hockey by inviting them to enjoy a fun night at New York Islanders games free of charge. By bridging the gap between need and access, these programs help ensure that veterans and their loved ones are empowered to build stable, fulfilling lives after service.
We aim to not only honor the sacrifice of service members, veterans, and their families but also create a lasting network of support that uplifts the entire Long Island community.

Each day, over 20 veterans die by suicide. For every completed suicide, there are over 30 attempts. This equated to over 250,000 attempts per year (CDC).
Operation VEST’s mission is to eradicate suicide one at a time by addressing the different needs of our veteran population. We aim to create awareness and remove stigma surrounding mental health so our veterans and active military can heal.
