As post 9/11 global terrorist threat remains steady, threats in the Indo-Pacific, and peer nation competitors threaten America’s strategic interest abroad, Green Berets and special operation forces are often called upon to meet these challenges – the Quiet Professionals. The annual operational tempo of U.S. Army Special Forces to some 75+ countries globally come with a heavy price as Green Berets sustain the highest casualty rate in the United States Special Operations community. Nonetheless, Army Green Berets remain the most capable and effective fighting force that the world has ever seen. We fully understand the post/current COVID-19 policies impacts and the historically high inflation rate affecting all businesses – thus we thank you in advance for your support to our mission of “Brothers Helping Brothers.”
The SFA CH VIII is one of the oldest and the longest continuous running chapter of 90 SFA Chapters located worldwide. Founded in Hawai’i in 1964, SFA CH 8 is a Veterans Service Organization who supports the Green Berets family members and members of our community. We provide our veteran Green Berets with a civilian “team house” environment to continue our mission of providing “behind-the-scene” support to those Green Beret widows and family members in need. Since 1964, our chapter is the longest running chapter that meets on the first Sunday of the month. We continually provide honor guard memorial escorts to our fallen Green Berets; support annual leadership awards to 26 State of Hawai’i High School Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) and University of Hawaii ROTC programs, and provide college/university scholarships, and donate to other deserving local charities.
