Sea of Goodwill

The Sea of Goodwill are the many patriots who help our troops reintegrate into civilian life when they return from combat and assist their families when they are away.

Without the support of the following generous people, REBOOT would not be possible. We thank them and appreciate all that they do. President Obama says it best:

“Our men and women in uniform stand watch abroad and more are readying to deploy. To each and every one of them, and to the families who bear the quiet burden of their absence, Americans are united in sending one message: we honor your service, we are inspired by your sacrifice, and you have our unyielding support.”  “And just as they must have the resources they need in war, we all have a responsibility to support them when they come home.” – President Barack Obama

Sea of Goodwill

These are the people, foundations, and corporations who help fund REBOOT Workshops in support of our troops – we thank them all for caring.

“…care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.” President Abraham Lincoln’s promise to veterans in his Second Inaugural Address in 1865
