PURPOSE MISSION STATEMENT STATEMENT The purpose of Warriors Still is fourfold:

1

To locate, recruit and train Team Leaders (in the mold and of the fiber exhibited by the FOCUS Marine Team Leader model) as set forth in our Mission Statement, Scope of Work and Guiding Principles, whose primary function shall be to mentor, train and motivate WWFMs.

2

4

To develop and refine a template to reach out and shepherd Friends of the Corps, interested and willing community leaders throughout our AO who will assist our Marines in their geographic area when they encounter difficulties or setbacks during their transition back into civilian life.

Our mission will never end and will be successful only if—like our Corps—young Marines learn from their predecessors and train those who follow, continuing in a never-ending circle of growth, success and training others to do the same. The only difference will be that these Marines will be trained to exit the combat mentality and re-enter the civilian world as clear-thinking, hard-working, successful civilian Marines.

MISSION STATEMENT

HARVEY W. SENTER, FOUNDER Harvey W. Senter is a self-employed entrepreneur from Sumter, S.C. whose active-duty and reserve service in the United States Marine Corps helped shape his life and motivate his will to succeed. Born the second son of a U.S. Navy Chaplain while stationed in Hastings, Neb., in 1946, Senter grew up and attended public schools in Greenville S.C., where he participated in recreation and sports much more enthusiastically than in his matriculative endeavors.

After working his way through the University of Tennessee, he graduated and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1968. Serving as the second squad leader from day one of Boot Camp and receiving his first promotion to Private First Class at the graduation ceremony remain two of his most gratifying lifetime accomplishments.

Much like his beloved father, his new Marine Corps family led, trained, challenged, motivated, pushed and followed him through many challenging experiences and urged him onward to new levels of never-say-die commitments and ultimate successes. To this day (along with his tattered and worn Bible) Senter often finds himself going to his “seabag” of experiences for tried and tested “plumb lines,” especially when faced with challenging situations and difficult decisions.

His enlisted hitch ended when Sgt. Senter completed OCS, attended The Marine Corps’ vaunted Officers Basic School and began his tour of duty in The Fleet by volunteering, testing for and being accepted into Second Recon Battalion on Onslow Beach, Camp Lejeune, N.C. Here he began developing the special skills and knowledge required of Recon Marines and learning the many true meanings of esprit de corps and the unbroken Marine traditions and loyalties.

Lt. Senter’s Leatherneck career continued in Vietnam where he served in Alpha Company, First Battalion, First Marines as a platoon commander, leading his devil dog warriors in combat operations. After a brief tour on Okinawa, Senter returned to serve with his Recon Family

10

on Delmar Beach, Camp Pendleton, California serving as a team leader in First Force Recon and conducting rigorous Recon training and “special assignment” missions throughout the United States and other offshore troubled areas. He separated from active duty in 1972 and was discharged as a Captain upon completion of his reserve obligations to the Corps. Although no longer wearing the uniform with the cherished Eagle, Globe & Anchor, Senter remains nonetheless True to the Corps...to the core.

Since 1974, Senter has owned and operated Senter & Associates on Main Street in Sumter S.C., a business that focused initially on real estate marketing, sales and management, gradually growing and transitioning into diverse but closely related companies called The Senterprize Group. Each enterprise specializes in one or more aspects of specific professional skills and services.

Throughout his career (and especially over the past decade since his spiritual awakening and personal commitment to Christ), Senter often reflects back on his military, professional and personal life (with his beautiful wife Lee and their two married children who have families of their own), thinking of ways to give back to those less fortunate or undergoing setbacks and personal challenges. His special love for the troops of the Corps invariably rises to the forefront in his thinking, having always been an overriding priority in his emerging vision.

The vision is now becoming a reality as WARRIORS STILL steps across the Line of Debarkation as a direct, personal, grassroots support unit for Marines, corpsmen and other like-minded privately funded and operated programs that focus on the healing, training and wellbeing of United States Marines and corpsmen injured in theaters of combat around the globe. Assisting these gallant warriors in their transition from the pit of despair to joyful, healthy, productive contributors to our American culture is the sole objective and steadfast purpose of WARRIORS STILL.

Semper Fidelis distinguishes the Marine Corps bond from any other. It goes beyond teamwork—it is a brotherhood that can always be counted on. Latin for “always faithful,” Semper Fidelis became the Marine Corps motto in 1883. It guides Marines to remain faithful to the mission at hand, to each other, to the Corps and to country, no matter what.

Becoming a Marine is a transformation that cannot be undone, and Semper Fidelis is a permanent reminder of that.

Once made, a Marine will forever live by the ethics and values of the Corps.
