When they get out, they expect to be treated with the same respect. Unfortunately, the civilian world doesn’t see them this way and the veteran feels like he has no one to turn to that would understand this feeling. As Fire Team, we recognize their accomplishments and the fact that each one of us has a talent that carries over to the “real world”. We help them see and understand their self worth and that they do not need a rank on your sleeve to gain respect. Honor: While in the military, people have a sense of honor, duty and valor. When they get out of the service they feel that the world outside has no honor and that no one has a sense of duty. Normal people just don’t know what these things mean to a soldier, sailor or Marine. We help them see, through counseling and service work, that just because you do not wear a uniform anymore does mean that they do not have honor. Courage: To ask for help. No one gets anywhere without help. It takes a strong person to ask for it. While on the battle field courage was a common everyday occurrence but here at home, veterans feel that to admit they need help makes them feel weak and if they are weak than they can not move forward. We provide them a way to show that courage by helping others who need it, whether it is through volunteer work, or simply taking phone calls. It takes courage to admit that you have had some of the same problems as someone else and turning it around as experience to help someone else. Commitment: We, HW FT, are committed to helping those who have served our country and community. When they were sworn in to protect and defend our country against all enemies both foreign and domestic, they took an oath that they would keep us safe. We are taking the same oath to help keep them safe and to educate them on the Hidden Battlefield that waitsfor them at home.
