Many warriors have said that having time to spend with fellow vets on a retreat or out in the field, or even enjoying the camaraderie and banter of a chilly early morning in a duck blind is better medicine than they could ever receive from the VA. That being said, there is no place better to get that prescription filled than at Patriot Point

Patriot Point is owned and operated by Patriot Point, LLC, a single member limited liability company whose sole member is the Military Bowl Foundation, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit.
Given the success of the Military Bowl Foundation, leadership was exploring ways to expand impact and make a difference for the nation’s recovering service members. Businessman and philanthropist Stuart Plank, then a member of the Military Bowl Foundation’s DC Touchdown Club Executive Committee, was aware of a property for sale on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It had been owned by Jim Bugg, who informally hosted recovering service members.
In 2016, the Military Bowl Foundation, the Stuart Plank Family and Military Bowl Foundation Board Member Rob Taishoff, through the Taishoff Family Foundation, formed Patriot Point, LLC to purchase the 294-acre property and formalize Bugg’s concept of using the property as a retreat for wounded, ill and injured service members, their families and caregivers.
