Our Mission is mostly to prevent the 22 Combat Veterans a day that commit suicide. We do this through all expense paid Hunting and Fishing Adventures for Combat Veterans to get them into the outdoors with a group of other Combat Veterans. They are able to talk about their similar situations and know that what they say is never repeated. They are able to learn that they are not alone in the mental fight they all share. Being in the outdoors most often calms their mind of the nightmares and allows them to heal mentally. Many return to their Families a more calm person, thus creating the domino effect. The Domino effect is where the Family can now be more calm and they can all heal together.
What happens to the women who have served in the Armed Forces? Are they really prepared for their return to civilian life, a life that is different than the one they just left as well as the one they left when they entered the service? Many find themselves jobless, homeless, and even penniless. Imagine having given the ultimate sacrifice to one’s country and not being able to financially support one’s family after returning to the States?
