Battlefield Return

Battlefield Return

Veterans of World War II and the Cold War have the opportunity to revisit the battlefields, contemplate their experiences, navigate the complexities of their service, and achieve emotional closure. This surpasses simple healing; our objective is to empower veterans to leverage their unique perspectives, transforming their experiences into significant educational resources for future generations. Programs are offered for combat veterans to visit France; Germany; South Korea; and Hawaii. If you are a combat veteran or a veteran who has been deployed to one of the aforementioned locations and wish to return with our organization, please contact us directly.
