Need a reason to stand up and cheer? In times of crisis, these veterans are doing dangerous and necessary work to heal themselves and countless other people of different nationalities. For free.

This is TEAM RUBICON and this is its story written by a team of eight who traveled to Haiti to provide aid immediately after the 2010 earthquake.

Today that story is continued through the service of over 8000 strong. The phrase "burn the boat" refers to the general, who upon landing on the enemy's shore, orders his men to burn the boats so that there is no path other than forward toward victory.

From Joplin to Burma to Rockaway Beach they've crossed the Rubicon. Now, they burn the boat.
