To date, the Rifle Project has returned over 50 Veterans back to their former battlefields in France, Germany, Belgium, Italy , Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. These trips are all at NO COST to the veteran and one family member. Proceeds from books, private donations, and GoFundMe contributions ma.
After learning that more than half of the veterans interviewed during the rifle project had never returned to the battlefields they fought on, a strategic fundraiser was started to return seventeen WWII veterans back to Belgium. A GoFundMe account reached 70k in order to pay for the veterans and one family member to return to the "Battle of the Bulge." It was therapeutic for many of the veterans who had never returned. They made peace with their former German enemies and visited their fallen comrades in the cemeteries. The trip closed a final chapter in many of their lives. Since then, Andrew Biggio and his team has returned to Europe thirteen times, taking over forty veterans back to their foxholes, villages they liberated, and concentration camps; all at no cost to them or their families.
