About Operation Game On

Rebuilding combat injured veteran’s lives through the game of golf
All too often, combat veterans and corpsman return home struggling with life-altering physical injuries and mental health disorders. At Operation Game On (OGO), we introduce these vets to the game of golf, which gives them the tools they need to adjust to civilian life and begin their physical and mental rehabilitation journey.
Golf as rehab
Founded in 2008 by Vietnam veteran, Tony Perez, Operation Game On begun as a way to offer support and assistance to local combat injured veterans returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. It’s a come as you are program - we don’t require any golf experience or clubs to join. Since it’s launch, OGO has helped more than 650 combat wounded vets gain confidence, community, and a sense of accomplishment through the game of golf!
Why golf?
Golf requires a lot of focus and concentration, which can help encourage our vets to find a moment where they think about nothing else but the task at hand - getting a little ball into a hole in the ground. We believe these moments allow for clarity as they begin their rehabilitation journey.
Golf also provides a peaceful atmosphere for our vets to relax, be outdoors, and enjoy camaraderie with others who understand the complexities of combat service. After military service, too many veterans lose a sense of purpose and community…golf can help restore both.
Our write-up
Operation Game On is in our directory because the military community keeps recommending it. What you see above is their own description, quoted from their site. We have not yet added our own write-up — the programs, eligibility and military fit that we check ourselves — and we would rather leave that blank than guess at it.
In the meantime, their official site is the authority: operationgameon.org

Are you Operation Game On?
This page was written about you, not by you. We built it because the people we serve were already looking for you and deserved a straight answer about what you do. If anything here is wrong, out of date, or puts it badly, we would rather hear it from you than leave it up.
Claiming it gives you an account here and a route to request changes — corrections, new programs, updated events. Those requests are handled by Meridian Tech, our partner, under their subscription service. You are not editing this page yourself, and we would rather say that plainly now than have you find out after you sign up.
“Claim this page” opens a checkout on milconnect.com, where you set up your organization's account. Being listed here is free, and staying listed is free. Meridian Tech — the company that also builds and runs MILCONNECT.AI — provides the account and the update service, and the AI Workspace is their paid product. We are telling you about a commercial relationship before you act on it rather than after, because you are a nonprofit being asked to spend money and you deserve to see the whole shape of it first. If anything on this page is simply wrong, email us and we will fix it for free; that never requires a subscription.
