About VetREST and How We Started
After a cumulative period of receiving daily emails of Soldier suicides, Retired MG Daniel York (USAR), above right, put a plan in motion to stem the problem by addressing what is recognized as often a contributing issue—Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and the suffering it brings into the lives of so many Veterans. “According to recent studies over 300,000 Veterans experience PTS and it is estimated that approximately 20% of over two million service members who deployed will develop PTSD.” [1]
Four West Point graduates collectively provided the initial funding to create the non-profit in 2013. VetREST launched with the intent of helping Vets address their challenges with a goal of finding peace from their hidden battles.
Our Strategy
We have created two key lines of effort to help participating Vets. Each Line of Effort was carefully constructed by experienced men and women who have a compassion for our countries brave Veterans. The first and most powerful line is mentoring. The second line is establishing healthy living. These lines of efforts are put into action through the creation of events across the country. Currently we have events in Oregon, Florida, and New Jersey.
