"R&R" Outdoor Recovery Initiatives

River & Ridge

The outdoors has always been a place to reset, reflect, and reconnect.


River & Ridge, or "R&R," brings veterans together through shared experiences beyond the walls of a meeting room. 


Whether on a trail, around a campfire, on the water, or simply spending time outdoors, the goal is to build connection, strengthen community, and support long-term recovery.


Every outing is another opportunity to reconnect with purpose, with others, and with the life waiting beyond service.

Every Adventure Tells a Story

Some memories remind us where we've been.


Others remind us where we're going.


These moments capture more than hikes, rivers, and campfires. They reflect veterans reconnecting with purpose, building relationships, and discovering that recovery can continue well beyond the walls of a meeting room.


Every adventure is another opportunity to move forward.


Shield by Shield.
