Marc Alan Lee was the first Navy SEAL killed in Ramadi, Iraq 8-2-06.A member of SEAL Team 3, Charlie platoon, Marc made the ultimate sacrifice defending his teammates. Marc was awarded the Silver Star,Bronze Star w Valor, and the Purple Heart for his heroic actions. Marc’s Mother, Debbie Lee, founded America’s Mighty Warriors to honor her son. AMW’s mission is to honor the sacrifices of our troops, the fallen and their families by providing programs that improve quality of life, resiliency and recovery. By honoring, encouraging, and supporting our troops Debbie ensures Marc’s legacy continues.
EDUCATION & ADVOCACY- AMW is dedicated to raising awareness of the selfless sacrifices our troops and their families make for the freedoms we enjoy everyday. When a service member suffers an injustice AMW is there to raise awareness and advocate to correct the situation. Often you will find AMW in the Halls of Congress, in the media, or wherever needed to confront the issue and bring justice to our troops. Our troops are bound by the UCMJ and cannot speak out, but we can be their voice.
RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS- Marc’s last letter home challenged and inspired Debbie to start AMW. He wrote about how we could change our world by doing more random acts of kindness. He ended that letter with “to my family and friends, do me a favor, pass on the kindness, the love, the precious gift of human life.” That letter has inspired millions of people around the world. AMW accepted that challenge and honors our troops and their families with varying acts of kindness from paying for their meals, coffee, gas or giving gift cards. Thousands of thank you and Marc’s hero cards have been given with a personal hand shake and hug. Debbie traveled to Iraq twice to personally thank the troops who selflessly sacrifice. These RAOK are just tokens to thank our military families for their
continued service.
HELPING HEROES HEAL PROGRAM - Our troops are coming home after multiple deployments with emotional and physical needs. AMW recognizes they are not receiving the best care in a timely manner. We are dedicated to providing therapies that heal. We provide funding for those diagnosed with TBI or PTS to receive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Hormone Therapy and Vitamin Therapy. We also host retreats for our wounded warriors and their families to provide recreation and resiliency.
GOLD STAR RESPITE AND RESILIENCY - As a Gold Star Mother herself, Debbie has a special connection to the families of the fallen. Through the Heroes Hope Home in Arizona and Serenity Hope Home in FL and other opportunities to attend retreats, concerts and events for the families, AMW gives hope, respite, encouragement and resiliency. We reach out to the entire immediate family of the fallen; parent’s, siblings, spouse, and children. These families have given their very best. We owe it to them to never forget their heroes or the sacrifices made.

Contributions are used in direct support of our programs to serve our Veterans, wounded warriors and fallen members of the Armed Forces and their families.
