Veteran Operators

From Battlefield to Backyard: Why Our Veteran Operators Are Saving Lives at Home

When people think of Navy SEALs and law enforcement officers, they imagine men and women trained to defend the nation in the most dangerous environments. But what happens when these heroes retire from active duty? At Saved in America, they don’t stop serving. They come home and pick up a new mission: to locate and recover missing and exploited children in communities across the country.

Our operators are volunteers. They don’t draw salaries. They don’t seek the spotlight. But they bring unmatched expertise, discipline, and courage to the cause. Former special operators and detectives use their training in surveillance, intelligence gathering, and tactical decision-making to track down leads, navigate dangerous territories, and safely recover children from traffickers and predators.

One operator said it best: "We didn’t stop being protectors when we left the battlefield. We just brought that fight home."

Each mission is demanding. It can involve days or weeks of travel, hours of fieldwork, and constant coordination with local law enforcement and families. And while our operators give their time freely, the operations still require resources: transportation, technology, documentation, and sometimes protection.

That’s where you come in.

Your donation empowers our heroes to keep serving. When you give, you’re not just supporting an organization. You’re equipping real-life protectors with what they need to save children from modern-day slavery. The battlefield has changed, but the mission remains the same: protect the innocent.
