WHAT:<\/h4>\n

Operation Heal Our Patriots is a project of Samaritan\u2019s Purse designed to strengthen the marriages of wounded and injured members of the U.S. military. The project includes a weeklong wilderness retreat at Samaritan Lodge Alaska, which provides physical and spiritual renewal to wounded veterans, active-duty service members, and their spouses.<\/p>\n

With picturesque scenery, individual cabins for couples, and a dedicated staff, couples are allowed to escape the pressures of home and focus on renewing their marriages. During the week, they participate in Biblically based marriage enrichment classes, devotions, and recreation activities ranging from bear watching to fishing, kayaking, and hiking.<\/p>\n

Operation Heal Our Patriots is the only program of its kind for wounded military service members and their spouses. Extending beyond couples\u2019 stay at Samaritan Lodge Alaska, the program provides ongoing aftercare to connect them with a system of support upon their return home. With a minimum of 10 touch points each year, Samaritan\u2019s Purse encourages and equips military couples by providing resources, crisis care, and prayer support.<\/p>\n

WHY:<\/h4>\n

Superar un da\u00f1o f\u00edsico o emocional despu\u00e9s de un per\u00edodo de servicio puede ser significativamente dif\u00edcil para los miembros militares, y aunado al estr\u00e9s de la nueva realidad que enfrentan al regresar a sus hogares, esto puede producir un impacto negativo en sus matrimonios. Es por esto que Samaritan\u2019s Purse trabaja en fortalecer y preservar los matrimonios de los soldados que han sido heridos al servir a nuestro pa\u00eds, por medio de este programa llamado Operation Heal Our Patriots.<\/p>\n

WHO:<\/h4>\n

Operation Heal Our Patriots is open to current and former military service members who were wounded or injured in combat or combat-related activities after Sept. 11, 2001. Each season 160 couples are flown to Alaska. All expenses—including accomodations, airfare, and activities—are covered by Samaritan\u2019s Purse through donations. <\/p>\n

IMPACT:<\/h4>\n

Since 2012, more than 840 couples have participated in the program, and another 160 couples are expected to attend in the summer of 2018. The program has seen 342 individuals make commitments to Jesus Christ, 428 individuals baptized, and 398 couples publicly rededicate their marriages to God.<\/p>\n

CU\u00c1NDO:<\/h4>\n

Operation Heal Our Patriots inici\u00f3 su primera temporada de verano en Alaska en junio del 2012. El hotel y sitio de retiro Samaritan Lodge Alaska permanece abierto actualmente desde finales de mayo hasta mediados de setiembre. Sus hu\u00e9spedes usualmente tienen una estad\u00eda desde el d\u00eda de su llegada que es en d\u00eda domingo hasta la tarde del viernes siguiente.<\/p>\n
