MISSION: Outdoor Association for Texas Heroes, Incorporated, or OATH, Inc., will utilize various outdoors activities to improve the quality of life for resident Texas Veterans that have been wounded/disabled as a result of direct combat action in OIF and/or OEF.

Immediately upon their return, our nation's combat veterans are a changed people. In one way or another, they are not the same person they once were when they left the shores of this great nation in her defense. Some return to us missing limbs. Some return to us in wheelchairs. Some return to us with visible scars. Others return to us with invisible scars that, much like their physical scars, will never fully heal. We as a society might not fully comprehend what these Warriors, both male and female, have survived. For those that can't directly relate, one can never adequately explain what their eyes have seen and what their bodies have endured. They went. They fought. They returned. And now, without a doubt, it's our turn to fight for them.

Outdoor Association for Texas Heroes, Incorporated, or OATH, Inc., has been established to serve two purposes. The first purpose is fairly obvious to most, but it needs to be driven home. OATH, Inc. gives our resident Texas Veterans that have been wounded or disabled as a result of direct combat action in OIF and OEF an outlet to just sit...and relax...and heal. Imagine a life of selfless service where you journeyed to a foreign land, feared for your life on a daily basis, saw those to the left and right of you fall in the shape of the ultimate sacrifice, and then returned home an obviously different person. Always scanning you sector. Always checking your six. Always watching the doors, reacting to fireworks or dealing with the occasional stares from folks. After serving your country honorably, you want to stop moving so quickly, enjoy your life, and just relax according to your own speed and your own style. OATH, Inc. can help you with that endeavor.

Our second purpose extends to those that have been searching feverishly for ways to give back and support these heroes. You love America, you love her values, and you love her Veterans, but you just need an outlet from which to provide some sort of support. OATH, Inc. can provide that outlet through several different avenues of approach. Whether you’re a Ranch Owner, Outfitter, Private Land Owner, Lease Manager or just a regular member of society, we can help you with your desire to give back to these deserving heroes. There are numerous different ways to give back, and we not only encourage folks to host events, but to also stay involved through specific event attendance. In the end, OATH, Inc. cannot and will not succeed without the generosity and embracement of folks like yourselves. The Wounded/Disabled Veterans of OATH, Inc. are only half of the approved solution. YOU are the other half.
