Veterans Standing With Veterans

As a veteran, you understand the weight that the men and women of our Armed Forces have carried upon their shoulders to secure and sustain the freedoms we cherish as a nation.

Today, the VA indicates that lifetime PTSD prevalence rates are 3.6% and 9.7% respectively among American men and women (1). In addition to the psychological impact, we also understand physically wounded warriors face steep roads to recovery. The result is alarming rates of suicide and an untold number of veteran warriors suffering in the shadows, along with their families and friends who struggle to help them.

The battles are real and the life wounds often deep. While elusive, the clear path to restoration can now be found in the process, programs and resources of Operation Restored Warrior.

WHAT WARRIORS & THEIR FAMILIES ARE SAYING

I want to thank you for the service you provided my family. My husband attended Drop Zone. Before he went he was very quick-tempered, not patient, and had very little faith. No matter how much my family tried to lead him to church, he would not go. He has come home a changed man.”
Wife of Veteran Warrior
That week changed my life. It gave me an understanding both emotionally and spiritually where I was and what I needed to do in future. I knew I would never be the same after all the traumatic events that I had encountered. But I was able to open up and share my experiences and the toll combat took on me emotionally, and not feel like I was being judged.

My husband was very withdrawn from the family, no longer found enjoyment in things that had previous made him smile, and was very short-tempered with everyone, including me. There was even a time when I was considering taking my daughter and leaving until he got the help that he needed. But fortunately for us, Operation Restored Warrior presented itself to him… ORW gave him the peace of mind that he has needed for many years.
Wife of Veteran Warrior
There were many nights I would lay down to go to sleep and wish I would not wake up in the morning. Then in September of 2012, I went to Operation Restore Warrior. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as time went on at the Drop Zone, I could feel the change in my heart and soul. I started to feel alive again – something I hadn’t felt in a long time. Every morning I woke up and felt the weight of my burdens being lifted. Emotions came out of me that I forgot existed. I have been back from my Drop Zone adventure for roughly 6 months. During this time I have gotten closer to my wife… and my daughter and I now have a relationship that we have never had. Life is good, and the love I now have with my family is even better. People at work have noticed a difference, and so have my closest friends. But most importantly, I feel whole again. I am convinced that if it wouldn’t have been for ORW and the great Americans that conduct this amazing miracle I would have completely lost myself and my family to the point of no return.
Sgt. Major, U.S. Army, 101st Airborne Division
I was in a place of desperation before Operation Restored Warrior came into my life. They gave me my life back; it’s as simple as that. I was at a point where I was overwhelmed by the effects of PTSD which were making every aspect of my life unbearable. Thoughts of suicide were beginning to creep into my mind again like they had in the past, I was scared and desperate. ORW came in and somehow reached into my heart, my mind and soul, speaking truth into me about the origins of my struggles.

I recently received help in “getting my life” back from an organization that is proving to be invaluable to our returning servicemen who suffer from PTSD. The program is called Operation Restored Warrior (ORW), and has literally and spiritually restored my will to live and given me new purpose. That purpose being to help the thousands of men and women out there who are suffering from those same nightmares but just don’t know how to cope. To date there are just over 350 vets who have been through ORW. To a man, the vets will testify that this program, which is brilliantly orchestrated by “Warriors” – all veterans – over a five day period, has given them more healing than any other program or drug they have tried before.

My husband came back a completely different person from the ORW Drop Zone. Through Operation Restored Warrior, God has healed his heart. He would be the first one to say there is still a lot of work to be done, but the changes I am seeing are a complete 180, and it is impacting every aspect of our lives.
Wife of U.S. Army Veteran
I was able to get my heart restored by giving everything that was weighing me down to Jesus.  Operation Restored Warrior opened my eyes to the spiritual fight I have been battling for years and gave me the weapons to be able to fight.
