A Glimpse Back Through Time- 200 Insights Into Post-Military Life



This post marks the 200th installment of our Retiring Your Boots Blog- Real-life stories from wounded veterans and those that care for them. We (the Heroes Thanking Heroes Program Representatives) started this blog for many reasons but most importantly- To provide hope and healing for other wounded, disabled, & ill veterans & their families.

To provide Hope.  Maybe, someone out there is reading- and we are able to connect with them through our stories, our real-life experiences. If we’ve saved just one life, every post and documenting our journey was 100 % worth it.

To Heal. Writing is healing. Sharing parts of our stories that we’ve never been able to share can be healing. The Retiring Your Boots blog is a platform for our Representatives, an outlet for them to distress, to challenge themselves, and to feel like they are helping others, because they are.

A Glimpse Back in Time:
 About Us: The Heroes Thanking Heroes Program! Oh My, How we’ve grown! Taking it back to the very beginning, on our first blog post ever- you can learn all about us and our truly unique employment program. We also share more into the lives of the Urbany Family! Spc. Donald Urbany (Ret.) was severely wounded by a car bomb in Iraq in 2005. His wife and caregiver, Jennifer, has been the leading force behind our blog, making sure our stories are shared for you all to read! First Blog Post! May 2016
