Operation Warrior Shield
Healing Their Hidden Wounds of War
Our Mission
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:
- Helping veterans find jobs
- Eliminating veteran homelessness
- Teaching Transcendental Meditation
- VETWELL – “Community Based Holistic Wellness” program
Who Are We?
Operation Warrior Shield is led by CMSgt(ret) Edward Schloeman, John Walsh, Walter Primoff, and Lt Col. (ret) Patrick Kernan, and Special Advisor Anne Akers.
Over the last 8 years, Ed Schloeman and the late Jerry Yellin traveled the country speaking on behalf of the non-religious modality of Transcendental Meditation –TM. In turn, they became partners with many veteran service organizations –Wounded Warrior Project, USO, US Army, USMC, NYC Department of Veterans Services and others.
Today, we have partnered with the David Lynch Foundation to bring proven treatments to help “heal the hidden wounds” and to build resilience to the stresses of life.
