IMPROVING THE LIVES OF VETERANS & ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY

Since 2013 the mission of Veterans R&R is to create and foster outreach programs to enhance productivity and quality of life for United States Military Veterans and their families.

 

Whether it's camaraderie from volunteering with other members, to spending time with Veterans afflicted with Post Wartime Challenges, becoming a member can make an enormous difference by helping Veterans get out of their houses and back into their communities.

Our core program, Operation Wild Horse has been featured in these two documentaries. 

Prairie Fire:

Operation Wild Horse

Prairie Fire is a monthly PBS docuseries created by the Illinois Public Media.

It is the goal of the Operation Wild Horse Leadership and the Veterans and Military families that built this program to expand Operation Wild Horse across the country so that more Mustangs, Veterans and Military Families have the opportunity to build a life changing partnership.

When the Prairie Fire team visited, we caught up with the members of the women veteran's camp, a weekly program that allows women veterans to safely share their experiences, build friendships, and form a partnership with their mustang or burro.

The Mustangs: America's Wild Horses

“The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses” is a feature documentary that is executive produced by Robert Redford, Patti Scialfa Springsteen and Jessica Springsteen. 

The film features songs by Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson and an original song written by Diane Warren and performed by Blanco Brown. 

“The Mustangs” takes audiences on an odyssey throughout America to places few people have seen or even know about. There are more than 80,000 wild horses on our federal lands and more than 50,000 in government custody.

Because of You

Because of our partners, like you, Veterans R&R is building again and our Veteran life-saving programs have grown.

All-Woman's Veteran Camp

Since 2013 the mission of Veterans R&R is to create and foster outreach programs to enhance productivity and quality of life for United States Military Veterans and their families.

 

Because of the support of our partners, we have began an All-Woman Veteran camp.  Providing a safe space for Women Veterans as their service-related experiences are much different than their male colleagues.
