What "Restoring Our Heroes" is about
The vision of a program to support our veterans began when Dr. Bob Briggs was serving with the Honor Bell Foundation. Listening to the stories and trials of fellow veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress, he felt called to do something to help these heroes. Initially he co-founded the nonprofit Operation Circle Back. Now through this new nonprofit, Restoring Our Heroes, a "safe" environment is created where our veterans and first responders are able to share with one another leading to a healing in the matter of post-traumatic syndrome experiences. This is accomplished through creating activity based challenging situations which promote post traumatic growth. This takes place at our "Holes in the Wall" RETREAT at a private ranch in western Colorado.
"Wecan put ourselves in situations that challenge us, maybe even scare us a little, we can share that experience with close friends and rewrite the story of whate challenge means to us."
John Monaghan, retired Chief of Police, retreat attendee
Our Mission
Our veterans and first responders suffer trials that no one but those who have been through them can understand. As a result they are not the same person thy were when they started their career, resulting in a struggle to reintegrate back into society. There comes a point in each of their lives when they must try to make sense of the darkness in their soul and reclaim their own humanity and reengage with the humanity of others. Restoring Our Heroes offers a process through its "Holes in the Wall" RETREAT where our veterans and first responders experience healing and transformation in their lives.
Our Vision
Restoring Our Heroes provides a "safe" environment where our veterans and first responders are able to share with one another leading to a healing in the matter of post traumatic syndrome experiences. We do this through activity based challenging situations conducted during our "Holes in the Wall" RETREAT taking place at the Little Creek Ranch. Through this camaraderie and time together our heroes are rewarded with post traumatic growth.
