"We got you."
That's what we said to Craig the day he walked back through our doors in 2024.
I almost didn't recognize him. He had been with us in the first days of the Heroes' Movement program pre-Covid. Type 1 diabetes diagnosed at 35 had already cost him his Marine Corps career and he needed a veteran community to connect with.
After 4 years away, Craig needed us in a completely different way. A mysterious 28-pound drop in 27 days. Then rheumatoid arthritis. Then a massive heart attack walking out of work with 85% blockage in his left ventricle.
That was the wake-up call. That's when he decided it was time.
The first time Craig came to PHP, it was great to be around his community of veterans. The second time? He needed this. For his family. For everything that surrounds that. For survival.
This is why Heroes' Movement exists. Not for the easy seasons. For the ones where a vet looks in the mirror and doesn't recognize what he sees and needs a place that says we got you.
If you're a vet, or you know one, who needs this, reach out.
