A Special Celebration Honoring Your Service
You answered the call—now let us honor you. Join us for a heartfelt gathering to celebrate your service, share stories and enjoy time with fellow Veterans in a warm, welcoming setting. The program will feature guest speaker Deborah Grassman who will discuss how to help Veterans recover their loss of self-worth by healing the relationship that they have with themselves.
Deborah is the author of three books: Peace at Last, The Hero Within and Soul Injury, a contributing author for four textbooks, and has 25 published articles. There are four documentary films and a TED talk that feature her work. However, none of these achievements have taught her as much as the 10,000 dying Veterans she took care of as a VA hospice Nurse Practitioner for 30 years: “If anyone wants to learn how to achieve inner peace, ask a Veteran who has successfully struggled to find it for the rest of their lives after they returned from war.” The lessons she learned culminated into a concept known as “Soul Injury,” a wound that separates a person from their own sense of self.
You are not forgotten. You are deeply appreciated.
We would be honored to have you join us for this special event designed with you in mind.
