I apologize for the delayed response. Please see the below not that was
distributed to our Patrons and posted to our website. Thank you.
Best,
Pat
TOS Director
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Our ability to serve the Operators and their Families is based upon a level
of trust placed in us by the Operators, their Families, and You. Without
this trust, we will fail in our mission to serve those who quietly serve
our country.
With this in mind, the mention of Tip of the Spear Foundation in the recently
released book, "No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed
Osama Bin Laden," is troubling and was done without our consent. The Foundation
takes very seriously the protection of the men and the mission, and we will
not accept any donations that are generated from the book or any related
activities.
Like those we serve, the Tip of the Spear Foundation works best behind the
scenes, seeking impact over recognition. We will continue to operate in a
manner consistent with the values held by the quiet professionals and families
we support.
Thank you for your time and continued support. We look forward to crossing
paths again soon.
Always ready / Always Willing,
TOS Board of Directors
Patrick Dossett
