Mission: Reconstruct Freedom

Acute burn care for burned military personnel, first responders and civilians is excellent in the U.S. and considered the best in the world. However, once survival from burn injuries is achieved, follow-up care and reconstruction for complete function and acceptable cosmetic results is badly lacking.

A National Problem

There is a dire lack of quality burn reconstructive specialists available in the United States, and, fewer and fewer are being adequately trained.

Addressing the Challenge

Sons of the Flag has recruited a team of outstanding reconstructive surgeons with extensive resumes in burn reconstruction.
