My name is Troy Pusateri, and I am a former Navy SEAL, involved in OPERATION RESTORED WARRIOR. Operation Restored Warrior is a program that helps our military warriors who suffer with PTSD upon returning home after their deployments. The cost of sustaining the freedoms we so cherish as a people and a nation are increasingly carried upon the shoulders of the men and women of our Armed Forces.Their immense personal cost is only just now being recognized in our nation through catchwords like PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Combat Related Stress (CRS), as well as physically wounded warriors, suicide, and other classifications. Their battles are real, the life wounds often deep, and with an average of 22 suicides a week from these heroes, never has a clear path to restoration been more needed yet found so scarce.
Operation Restored Warrior is open to all faiths and brings together mission, healing, and ministry to places and memories within the warrior's heart that need the hope and healing through our experiential, multiple day, wilderness setting counterattacks.
We are raising awareness and money to place these warriors through the 5 day program called the Drop Zone and for over 5 years has proven to help service members from all branches of our military. From intelligence analysts to Navy SEALS and Army Delta, and from Chaplains to Surgeons and everyone in between; healing knows no boundaries. Participants have experienced the freedom, restoration, and healing their hearts and lives have longed for and so desperately needed. We don't renovate, we restore the warrior to what was intended.
Being a newer organization, we have recently begun to raise awareness and seek charity to put as many of these Warriors through the restoration program. It costs approximately $2000 to put one Warrior through the program. To raise funds, and place as many of these fine folks through the program as possible, this year we are hosting the Warriors for Warriors Shark Tournament.
Warriors for Warriors Charity Shark Tournament, Pt Pleasant, NJ, is a fund raising vehicle where myself, and two other former Navy SEALs are raising money for charity to help other combat warrior veterans in need of crucial help. Each year, the tournament will select a charity to support with the proceeds of the event going to the designated charity we choose to support that year. The charities supported will be ones focused on helping combat veterans.
I ask that you take a minute to look over the below websites, and simply spread awareness. We are seeking sponsors, and with a larger following, and more awareness we can attract more and larger sponsors to ensure success, for future tournaments, and ultimately raise more money to support our Vets.
