Veterans Day Donation For Return To Honor Program
November 1st, 2007 Posted in Delaware Valley Area News, Donations
In honor of Veterans Day, Principal of The Training Center, Bob Sinton, of West Chester, donated $1,000 to sponsor a veteran to participate in the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge reintegration training called Return to Honor. It provides training for veterans to help them deal with combat stress and to make a successful transition home. “Both of my brothers have served in the military and we understand the value of training,” said Bob Sinton.
Return To Honor is a three-day intensive, cognitive and experiential reintegration training designed and conducted by “those who have been there”. It is particularly geared to those who are suffering from the mental and emotional trauma of war including combat stress and focused upon their reintegration as healthy, productive members of the service/society. This workshop should not be considered therapeutic in the traditional sense nor is it designed to replace such services. It is designed to meet the needs of both active duty, reservist, guard and returning veterans. A key component addressed in the program is the needs of their families and bringing them into this process. Return to Honor was designed to assist veterans several months after their “in theatre” experience as this is often when challenges occur.
