Veteran Veritas on combat veteran retreat to assist recently returning war vets

Veteran Veritas Blog will be on “Special Ops” for the next 11 days.  I and a unique collection of combat veterans will be gathering at the Merritt Retreat Center in  Payson, Arizona to brain storm some approaches for addressing the increasing ranks of returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan who are struggling with transition issues.

Attending will be former Army, Marine and Air Force officers, and a handful of us NCO’s. All with former combat duty.

The Merritt Center program for returning veterans is one of the most unique in the nation..and it is free! See, MerrittCenter.org

This Camp David style round-table is open to any and all suggestions about reducing the suicide rate and easing the way back into polite society after 3-5 deployments in a combat theater.  Our nation has not seen such an intense level of service to country in 60 years.

Leave your comments and suggestions here or at the Merritt Center website. No one is paid at the Merritt Center. It exists solely on philanthropy.  If you see it in your heart to donate to this one-of-a-kind program, call Betty Merritt for an overview of the Veterans Program.  1-800-414-9880 or 928-474-4268.

This would be called supporting the troops as “only the dead know the end of war.”  –Plato

  1. What a great service you are doing for our returning vets.  Good luck with the Payson retreat Mike.  You should re-title this blog to read: “Veteran Veritas on combat veteran retreat to assist recently returning war vets”.

  2. That’s an excellent idea, Carolyn. Thanks. My wife will read this in my absence and probably change the title. Oh, wait! I think this is her typing right now! Will she do it?
