“Becoming an Eco Warrior has given me a renewed sense of purpose. Leading cleanups and working alongside other Veterans has allowed me to reconnect with the camaraderie I missed after leaving the service. It’s not just about cleaning the environment—it’s about building a community, inspiring others, and knowing you’re making a real difference. I’m proud to be part of a mission that empowers Veterans and creates a lasting impact for future generations.”
