My Why:

I am so humbled and honored to be a part of such an amazing program, for the healing for the WARRIORS. My father-in-law is retired from the navy and served for 19 years; he is a Vietnam veteran. My nephew is currently serving as an Army Sgt., 82nd Airborne Paratrooper. I am so thankful to be a part of this healing journey. WELCOME HOME!
