We provide individualized assistance to burn survivors and families nationwide, addressing urgent medical, financial, and practical needs that extend beyond hospital discharge. Notably, we ensure swift, 24-hour response times to urgent requests from facilities such as Parkland Hospital in Dallas.
We invest in the future of burn care by funding medical and psychological fellowships that advance specialized training and research. Through this commitment, we help elevate clinical expertise and improve long-term outcomes for survivors across the country.
We unite survivors, caregivers, professionals, and advocates to strengthen the burn recovery community. By amplifying survivor voices and fostering collaboration, we help influence policies and practices that advance compassionate care nationwide.
Sons of the Flag was founded in 2012 by former Navy SEAL, Ryan “Birdman” Parrott, eager to support fellow military and first responder burn survivors. By funding innovative medical research, training the next generation of burn surgeons, and providing direct survivor support, we’re driving positive change within the burn community and supporting All survivors “Beyond the Burn.”
As our mission has grown, so has our identity. Sons of the Flag is evolving to Beyond the Burn, a name that reflects our commitment to supporting survivors through every stage of recovery. While we continue to fund advanced burn fellowships, invest in innovative research, and provide direct assistance to survivors, this new name more clearly represents our vision: empowering individuals to move beyond their injuries and toward healing, resilience, and a fulfilled life.
Beyond the Burn's Survivor Support service is a beacon of hope, navigating the complex pathways of burn injury recovery. We offer personalized guidance to access financial aid, grants, and essential resources, easing the overwhelming burden that often follows a burn incident. Our service shines especially bright for pediatric burn patients, where both the young ones and their dedicated healthcare teams receive compassionate care and essential items, such as specialized clothing and playful rehabilitation tools. Each child's recovery is enriched through toys that double as therapeutic aids, and comforts like DVDs that transform long hospital days into moments of normalcy and healing.
