"The Plight of the Veteran"

It's time to share the story of the challenges that veterans experience re-entering society upon their return. Among them include finding work and the beliefs some employers have when considering applicants who have been in the military. There are many good qualities veterans have like work ethic, work under pressure, and collaboration. Unfortunately PTSD is a very powerful barrier. Among the solutions include adaptive paddling and that's where Team River Runner enters the equation. This non-traditional therapy is powerful and positive ammunition to strengthen core muscles, relax the mind, and improve relationships. Society needs more awareness of the plight of the veteran and veterans need a tool that will empower them, and give them the will to live (decrease the suicide rate). Presentations will be held at chambers of commerce, libraries, and rotary clubs in Dauphin, Lancaster, and York Counties. Hopefully this effort will increase our membership but at the least it will increase awareness.
