OUR STORY

A few of us were sitting in Dallas together after being rained out for a paintball tournament at the National XBall League.  We'd never met before, but an interest in paintball had made our paths cross.  We talked about the true purpose of any team and what teams should and should not be.  It was only a matter of minutes before we decided that we should start our own team.  

Almost immediately, OFP was selected to be our new team's name.  Veterans throughout our military immediately understood what that meant and we decided to build our own organization using values that were more aligned with our military service rather than those aligned with paintball.

Since then, our organization has grown, and we've expanded to other adrenaline-based sports and activities beyond paintball.  Now we're excited to offer all veterans a way to enjoy camaraderie and action-driven outlets to help them not only survive, but to THRIVE!

We are the ones who rise at dawn,
Not for ease, but for the climb.
Where others stop, we carry on,
Beyond the map, beyond the line.

We’ve walked through storms, we’ve faced the fall,
Not broken—just rebuilt anew.
Steel in soul, though scarred and raw,
We stand for those still fighting through.

Not all who wander lose their way,
Not all who hurt have lost their spark.
We forge our peace through fire and clay,
A quiet light against the dark.

We build, we serve, we lift, we run—
Not bound by fear, nor chased by past.
We find our healing in the sun,
And brotherhood that holds us fast.

So, here’s to those who walk alone,
Who rise again with calloused grace.
The edge of the known is where we’re grown—And we make purpose of that place.
