"I’m finally part of something that is much greater than myself. My experience has been nothing short of life altering, and I want to help other veterans who are struggling just like I was. Foundation 14 is changing lives in such a way that no other organization I’ve been associated with can achieve, and it’s so much more than a motorcycle, it’s a family."
Darcy Barry
Darcy enlisted in the United States Marine Corp in 2008 after graduating high school. In 2009, he found himself in Helman Province as a Field Operator for a Grunt Unit doing foot patrols. Darcy completed 2 tours with the same unit, 3rd Battalion – 3rd Marines. These weren’t easy tours. He lost friends. He lost brothers. These were men he trained with, lived with, worked with… they were his family. Why was he the one who got to go home?
