In June, we had the privilege of welcoming a remarkable group of women to our Female Combat Veterans Retreat. From the moment they arrived, the connection among these brave veterans was immediate and powerful. We'd like to share a testimony from one of our participants, who has chosen to remain anonymous.
“This retreat helped me in a significant way. I and other veterans struggle really heavily with isolation and being able to allow ourselves to relax. Being around the group of other female veterans with similar experiences that this trip brought together meant a lot to me and made me feel less alone. The activities planned on the trip were firsts for many of us and were an opportunity to enjoy events that we may have never experienced otherwise. It was overall an amazing time and a break in the stresses of daily life that I would recommend to anyone. Thank you so much for everything! You were the kindest, sweetest people and it was truly a pleasure to be around all of you.”
Thank you to our amazing volunteers and generous sponsors as your time, commitment, and support made this retreat possible.
