LKN Seal Swim
Operation Restored Warrior
Every day, approximately 22 former and active U.S. service personnel commit suicide as a result of the effects of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and CRS (Combat Related Stress). This is more than we lose in actual combat. And... THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!
"Operation Restored Warrior" was founded by and is facilitated by former Special Operations warriors to counsel and help fellow veterans through the darkness of combat stress and back into the light.
The "Drop Zone" program is a 5-day experience where our nation's finest and bravest warriors are able to talk, interact and experience the fellowship with others who have been in their boots and understand the personal difficulties of balancing the inherent stress of combat with the re-acclimation to civilian life. ORW has a 100% success rate - in that none of the 550 (and growing) vets who have been through the program have taken their own life.
The LKN SEAL Swim was created to help raise awareness and funds to send our Veterans through this groundbreaking program. Now, in our third year, we expect this year's event to be bigger and better than ever. But we need your help. Please check out our donor page for information on the event, how to donate, volunteer opportunities or to swim in our community leg of the event.
