Program #1: Battlefield Repatriation Initiative
World War II & Cold War Veterans
The Battlefield Repatriation Initiative offers combat veterans from WWII and the Cold War a chance to contemplate their experiences and achieve emotional resolution by revisiting the locations where they engaged in combat and paying tribute to their deceased comrades. These initiatives elicit profound emotions, enabling veterans to reconcile with their former adversaries and make significant contributions to the Foundation's education programs.
Program #2: Battlefield Repatriation Initiative
Vietnam War Veterans
The objective of the Vietnam Battlefield Repatriation initiative is to reintegrate Vietnam combat veterans into the battlefields, honoring their bravery and selfless dedication to their country. These programs foster tranquility and equity by recognizing the altruistic courage of these veterans and honoring the contributions of both surviving individuals and those who have departed. Additionally, they function as a lasting homage to the valuable contributions they have made.
