Veterans on the Camino

Posted by a member of the American Pilgrims on the Camino Facebook Group:

Warriors on the Way is an organization that brings together combat veterans for a 180-mile walk across Spain on the Camino de Santiago, coupled with a structured program that has a moving and measurable impact on the healing of their PTSD and Moral Injury. (Within the context of military service, particularly regarding experiences of war, “moral injury” refers to the lasting emotional, psychological, social, behavioral, and spiritual impacts of actions that violate a service member’s core moral values and behavioral expectations of self or others.)
