Russell says the program finds what brings joy and happiness to these veterans, then creates events where they can share experiences with other like-minded veterans. “As a veteran, I understand how having a sense of purpose and relevancy can counter a lot of strife in someone’s life,” Russell said. “When I got out, I went from 1,000 mph to a sudden stop, I became Mr. Russell, and for a while I didn’t know who I was.”

“We take guys hiking and camping, we go on fishing and hunting expeditions. We talk about what’s going on in their life, and find common ground, so they can open up. Tonight kicks off year-three. We’ve had incredible items donated for our auction. Whitt’s Barbecue has catered the event. We also have some raffles, and we’re presenting awards to people whose efforts contributed to our success in 2019.”
