Who We Are

(SF) “Green Berets” and Associate members, whose backgrounds range from the Cold War, Vietnam, Iran-Iraq War, and the Global War on Terrorism including Afghanistan, Iraq, to other unnamed conflicts which include a
multitude of countries across the globe.
Our brand “The quiet professionals” is important to us, as is our Latin motto
“De Oppresso Liber,” meaning, “free the oppressed.”
Our Purpose is to serve the needs of one another, our local communities, preserve the legacy that
maintains/retains its culture and continuity of Special Forces (SF) “Green Berets,” across generations, for the
betterment of our country and fellow man.
Our Current Mission is to attract, retain and grow future military prospects across the region for the common
good and welfare of the residents of Hampton Roads. Through regional advocacy and influence, the SFA acts

Our Vision is to be the unified voice for the Special Forces community, perpetuating their traditions and
brotherhood, advancing the public image of Special Forces, and promoting the general welfare of the Special Forces community, honoring our fallen and fostering a strong sense of brotherhood among all who have served in the US Army Special Forces.
