Mission Statement
Beyond The Battlefield The Tiegen Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization dedicated to Our Wounded Veterans and First Responders. Our mission is to provide support for service members as they face the many challenges encountered during their rehabilitation, reintegration and healing process. Often when our veterans return from their tour of service, the tolls of war have been too great to bear alone.
We will leave no service member behind and will work diligently to prevent veteran suicide. By including wounded members in various Foundation sponsored events we aim to motivate, encourage and afford them opportunities they might not otherwise have. The Foundation’s focus is to lift their spirits while reminding them that there is more Beyond the Battlefield and their sacrifices
will never be forgotten.
God Bless Our Troops.

Meet the FounderJohn 'TIG' TiegenJohn “Tig” Tiegen is a former United States Marine Corps Sergeant and Infantry Squad Leader. Tig learned early in life the importance of a strong work ethic and a will to overcome hardships in the face of adversity. Determined to not allow his past to dictate his future and driven by deeply rooted desire to serve others, he joined the United States Marine Corps at the young age of 17 on a delayed entry program. Those four years in the service with the 3rd Battalion 7th Marines India Company would shape and mold the principled, driven man the former Sergeant and Infantry Leader is today. Tig, along with his other teammates, rushed into burning buildings to defend the Consulate and fought arm-in-arm in defense of the Annex, holding off the radical Islamic terrorists until CIA employees could be safely evacuated. Tig personally saved the lives of many of his team and was paramount in rescuing over two dozen others. He received the Award for Heroism and Valor for his bravery that night. Tig teamed up with other members of the Annex Security Team and New York Times best-selling author, Mitchell Zuckoff, to write 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi. In 2015, the book was made into a movie. Tig and his wife, Margaret continue to serve our country through their veteran non-profit, Beyond the Battlefield. The two have been married for 19 years and are the proud parents of six-year-old twins. They reside on their ranch in Colorado.
