Our Cause
3/8 Veterans of Fallujah and Ramadi Charity, or 3/8 VFR, is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization that is dedicated to help support Marines of 3rd Battalion 8th Marine Regiment who were engaged in the bitter fighting of Fallujah and Ramadi, Iraq. Over the course of the two deployments, the battalion suffered 25 killed and over 300 wounded. Many of the veterans still suffer from physical, mental, and emotional wounds. All proceeds will go to fund programs and other initiatives that will assist these veterans' needs. **This organization supports the USMC veteran community, however it is not officially connected to or endorsed by the USMC**
