About Us

How we started
​After a cumulative period of receiving daily emails of Soldier suicides, MG Daniel York (USAR) put a plan in motion to stem the problem by addressing what is recognized as often a contributing issue—Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and the suffering it brings into the lives of so many Veterans. “According to recent studies over 300,000 veterans experience PTS and it is estimated that approximately 20% of over two million service members who deployed will develop PTSD.” [1]

Four West Point graduates collectively provided the initial funding. VetREST launched with the intent of helping Vets address their challenges with a goal of finding peace from their hidden battles.

Our Strategy
We have created two key lines of effort to help participating Vets. Each Line of Effort was carefully constructed by experienced men and women who have a compassion for our countries brave Veterans.  The first and most powerful line is coaching.  The second line is establishing healthy living.  These lines of efforts are put into action through the creation of chapters across the country.  Currently we have chapters in Portland, OR, Colorado Springs, CO, Atlanta, GA, Zolfo Springs, FL and New York City-New Jersey. 

Now What?
