WELCOME

On behalf of The Station , welcome to Montana. We recognize you live a busy life. We understand the pressures you and your Family face on a nightly basis.

When we first considered leaving the Community to create this program, we had no idea it would grow into this powerful and positive experience in such a short time. We have been very fortunate and blessed to have amazing people committed to making this a world-class resource for you to enjoy. We are honored to have you and hope this does what it needs to do.

The Station was designed by folks from the Special Operations Community. It recognized the lack of quality and consistency in resources available for our Community as we learned to deal with the impacts of combat. The available menu of options did not address the needs or requirements of the SOF Warrior and their Family. We developed this project with you and your family at the center, through an understanding and language from within, that valued and projected SOF Truths. There is one agenda – to provide the same level of support after combat as you receive in combat.

This workshop was designed for YOU – your needs, priorities, goals, dreams, personality…YOU.

Treat as your own – own it. You travelled all the way to Montana and made it this far in the letter –why not make this the best two weeks you’ve given yourself in a LONG time. As hard as it may be – we ask you to do one thing: Enjoy yourself. Leave the timelines, expectations, chaos, static, and noise behind.

Again – this is for YOU…take advantage of this and make it your own to enjoy. There is nothing in your way.

Again, thank you for who you are, what you do, and taking the time to preserve those things important in your life. We are excited to have you and look forward to our time together.

Best,

The Station Foundation
