Healing Their Hidden Wounds
Operation Warrior Shield, Inc. provides comprehensive support programs for service members, veterans, first responders and their families that are focused on transition, health and wellness, employment, prevention of homelessness, peer engagement, and connections to community resources. The emphasis is to help heal their hidden wounds through:
Ed Schloeman, and the late Jerry Yellin, who passed away in 2017, established OWS in 2016 and in partnership with the David Lynch Foundation, traveled the country speaking on behalf of the non-religious modality of Transcendental Meditation™ (TM). In addition, OWS has enjoyed partnerships with many veteran service organizations, including Wounded Warrior Project, USO, US Army, USMC, NYC Department of Veterans Services, NYPD, and others.
