  • Behavioral Health

    We firmly believe that we have a moral obligation to support veterans in their efforts to heal the wounds of war as we reintegrate them into their former locations where the trauma developed, with a primary focus on the restoration of their psychological and emotional well-being.

Heroes of World War II Initiative.

Program #1: Battlefield Repatriation

The Normandy Battlefield, a pivotal site of World War II, stands as a profound testament to human resilience and valor. Through our programs, combat veterans of World War II and the Cold War are offered a rare and vital opportunity to return to this hallowed ground—confronting the complexities of their past, honoring fallen comrades, and embarking on deeply personal journeys of emotional healing. More than a site of remembrance, Normandy serves as a living symbol of courage and sacrifice. It offers reflection for those who fought and inspiration for future generations, reminding us that even in the darkest hours of conflict, the unwavering spirit of hope—and the sacrifices of so many—can light the way toward a more compassionate and promising world.

Program #2: Battlefield Repatriation

The Return to Vietnam Initiative.

The Vietnam War, one of the most devastating conflicts of the 20th century, remains a deeply turbulent chapter in American history. Its consequences extended far beyond the battlefield—profoundly affecting soldiers, their families, and countless civilians. More than five decades later, many Vietnam veterans still carry the invisible wounds of war, struggling with the lasting psychological impact of their service. In response, the Return to Vietnam Initiative provides essential support and compassionate guidance. By facilitating journeys back to Vietnam, the program helps veterans confront their past, honor those lost, and take meaningful steps toward healing and closure. Through remembrance and reflection, this initiative fosters emotional restoration and honors the enduring resilience of those who served.

Program #3: Educational Enrichment

Connecting Generations

The Connecting Generations Educational Initiative offers a transformative experience in Normandy, France, where the valor and sacrifice of veterans intersect with the aspirations of emerging young leaders—particularly those from underserved backgrounds who might not otherwise have the opportunity to engage with this pivotal chapter of history. By fostering intergenerational dialogue and integrating firsthand veteran narratives, the program challenges students to critically examine the moral and ethical complexities of conflict. Immersed in the historic landscape of Normandy, participants gain a deeper understanding of the human cost of war, cultivating empathy, historical awareness, and civic responsibility. This initiative not only honors the legacy of a courageous generation but also reinforces the enduring importance of democratic values, education, and leadership in shaping a more informed and compassionate future.
