Mind Over Land: Navigating New Horizons
Venture Beyond, Veterans Leading Veterans.
For nearly a decade, the entity known as True Patriot, Inc. has extended its hand toward the brave hearts in Fayetteville, serving veterans through a variety of initiatives. But alas, the time has come for transformation. The road calls for specialization, for a honed purpose. We embrace this road as Mind Over Land.
In the vast expanse where tires touch terra firma, there exists a powerful therapy—one that allows veterans to steer through the mental landscapes forged by service and sacrifice. Thus, we present Mind Over Land, a play on the resilient creed of 'Mind Over Matter.' Veterans understand resilience, and at Mind Over Land, it's about steering the mind through nature's unforgiving beauty to find solace, clarity, and rejuvenation.
Our Mission 2023 and Beyond:
Rebranded and realigned, we rev our engines with intent—focusing our mission on vehicle-based adventure, or overlanding. We are gearing up to foster healing, growth, and connection, reaching for the ambitious summit of impacting 10,000 veterans in the coming decade.
Imagine the power of 100 new stories each year, 100 lives uplifted, propelled by the camaraderie of expeditions in the American expanse. We begin, aiming to enrich these lives, region by region, until the Mind Over Land brotherhood and sisterhood thrives coast to coast.
