For those Wounded Warriors who are thriving in recovery and are capable of returning to theater, this program itinerary stages a meet-and-greet
tour to forward operating bases with a group of recovered soldiers. Four specific objectives have been identified:
Not only is the Wounded Warrior’s desire to return to theater addressed but they can bring stories from home to deployed troops when they arrive.
The minds of deployed troops can be put to ease when they witness the results firsthand and hear about the journey and
outstanding care being afforded to our Wounded Warriors.
Having a most important and unique opportunity to see the progress in Iraq that they have helped bring about.
CTroops injured in battle have the opportunity to make a "proper exit" on their own terms as they walk to the aircraft and
climb the ramp rather than being medically evacuated.
