Welcome to the healing power of nature to help our Veterans. EST.2021
Vetcations Backstory
Hi I'm Heather and PTSD has touched my life from a very young age. My father was a retired Coast Guard Commander who suffered with PTSD. He committed suicide when I was in my early 20's. My mother's second husband, a Marine Veteran, also suffered with chronic PTSD; nightmares, mood swings and depression. Now the love of my life copes daily with his PTSD. He is a Native Air Force Veteran.
When Joseph and I reconnected, after over 30 years apart, we made a commitment to each other to help our brother and sister Veterans and their families. That's why we formed Vetcations. We know first hand the healing power of Mother Earth.
