Operation: To Honor

About OTH

Operation: To Honor, LLC embellishes what I was born to be. Servants of The Most High, helping others any way we can. OTH will fill the gap of whatever it is YOU need personally or professionally for your business. From Pop-Up Weddings and family events to destination corporate retreats. We can plan it all for you. Need someone to care for a loved one temporarily? We got that covered. Your business not have the employees needed, subcontract us. Not enough hours in the day to get it all done, allow OTH to shop for that gift or get your groceries. There is no job too big or too small. We will do it all (with some instruction lol).


The best part, our profits will go towards our unofficial nonprofit that will provide Military/Civil Servant Appreciation Weddings, Baby Showers, and family events in the near future. We will be a rescue to those in crisis and have no where to turn. Being mobile for our business means we can be mobile for someone who has selflessly served and is in need of help NOW.

     I am so eager to serve you! Thank you for taking the time to visit our site. I hope you find everything you are looking for and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact us. Here is a little about me.


     I was a caregiver from birth. Oldest of 3, 

babysitter by 11, mom of 2 perfectly made daughters at 18 and 21. I did the struggling single mom thing, and then eventually went back to school. I settled on Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management (HRTM) with a focus on Event Planning, because that is what I had always done.....for free!


     "Mini prom" 8th grade and other school dances, teacher appreciation and hospitality chairs for PTSA, decorated 7 weddings, themed birthday parties, baby showers, all because I didn't have a clue how to charge and honestly, I didn't think you could complain if it was free, so it didn't matter if the events had oopsies. I clearly had no confidence in myself. I have grown and am proud to be running my own business with my amazingly supportive hubby, doing what I love, serving others! 

     I have also had the privilege of spending the past 5 1/2 years, both full-time and now part-time, as the caregiver of an elderly woman who has alcohol induced dementia, my aunt. We created a sober home for her and she has remained sober and has done well. After many ups and downs, and I am happy to say she is doing the best she possibly can in assisted living (her choice, to be around others her age), which is only by the grace of Yah, as she was drinking upwards of 5 bottles of wine a day, before she came to live with us.


     I met my husband, a 100% disabled Combat Veteran, in 2010 and married the love of my life in 2015. Paul is my rock! We were gifted our wedding as a Military Appreciation tribute, so obviously we wanted to pay that back. We have 6 amazing and beautiful children and 2 perfectly made grandchildren. We are truly blessed beyond measure and I appreciate that more and more with every struggle we face. We had to learn how to navigate all the trials thrown at us, including PTSD, TBI, family courts, blended family life, the VA, parental alienation, miscarriage, cancer, and much more, together with not much guidance. Together, with Yahusha as our guide, we have made US stronger than ever! I never knew how hard figuring out PTSD was, much less fighting for rights as a parent. There wasn't a whole lot of info and "they" certainly hadn't done anything to help any of our Veterans. I have found that Veteran families need that guidance, which the military is doing a little better at now, and children of parental alienation need therapy for emotional abuse. Our government needs to do better for the children and our civil servants!


     We have always been very involved in volunteering for many different nonprofits, mostly veteran or adaptive. Volunteering for camps is still our favorite! It was semi part of my husband's therapy after going thru the SHARE Military Initiative at The Shepherd Center in Atlanta. He (we) found that it made him feel better by giving of himself, once I showed him he was capable. He even found he could run (before going into SHARE he was on a cane) for the 22+ per day, even if he was hurting. He still runs today, thru his pain, for those that no longer can. 


LET'S START CELEBRATING!!!!

     As I was graduating college for HRTM in 2016, I had a strong feeling I wasn't done with school just yet. The One who leads me sent me to Liberty University, where I received my bachelors in Psychology - Trauma/Crisis and Military Family Resilience. I never planned on using my degree clinically. I just wanted the information so I could help veteran families struggling with what comes back from combat. 22+ (I believe the count is somewhere in the 40's now) veterans alone, every day, end their life. That doesn't include all other civil servants or their spouses. We MUST do better!!!I 


     We hosted our first fully donated (without a 501c3) Military Appreciation Wedding for a 100% disabled Marine, in November 2019. Operation: Peacekeeper (our unofficial non profit) made its debut. The wedding and reception were incredible and all made possible through the kindness of others, donating their goods and time. Then, 2020 happened and set everything behind. In August 2021, we bought our land, and in October 2022 I was diagnosed with an extremely rare version of a rare skin cancer. I received holistic treatments until August of 2023. Then, I went through a very precise radiation treatment and on September 27, 2023, I had surgery where the tumor was completely removed and by the grace of Yahuah, all cancer was gone. I am a survivor and He who saved me still has plans for me. It has taken until now to get back on our feet, heading where He has led us. We are already working with 2 veteran owned businesses, are working toward starting a second business hosting Airbnb's, and can't wait to see what the future holds for OTH. 


     I am so grateful that you are considering us to work for you, so that we can fulfill our duties we were led to do, to give back to those who put their lives at risk every day. Make no mistake, we are not THE JUDGE, and you will find we treat others this way. We are told to LOVE and show GRACE, and we will do only that, no matter what your beliefs are. We won't push ours on you, but we love a good debate. lol I am kidding, but it probably wouldn't be like any you have had before, as we seek deeper. lol


Thank you for trusting this part of your journey to us. 




This company and all we do is in honor of those no longer with us, those who are who may be struggling, those who have served, and those who still are. We recognize the selfless sacrifices our Military, Police, Fire, and EMT's make every single day.  We are eternally grateful to them, their spouses, and their families! The 

whole family serves.


We will never forget you, Rammon Macon! Respected Marine! Loving husband and daddy of 4 amazing "Chickens"! Forever our friend!


If you would like to place a photo and a short statement about a friend, battle, or loved one who lost their battle, please email to me and I will add them here, We want to 

                                                           keep them all alive, in our hearts, forever!
