) May 21, 2009 -- Operation Legacy announces the release of the Operation Legacy life planning workbook to help U.S. Military Veterans transition from military life to a civilian life of purpose, meaning and happiness. Operation Legacy is a grassroots project to get the Operation Legacy workbook into the hands of every U.S. Veteran.
C0-Authors Dr. Charles Macias (Veteran) and Dr. Rich Nicholson
Urgent Need
After the heroes welcome…now what? There is an urgent need for optimistic and constructive life planning to help overcome the challenges our troops face when returning home. The lack of purpose and life planning when our Veterans return home sets the stage for a downward spiral of problems including apathy, unemployment, broken relationships, family problems, addiction, depression, Post Traumatic Stress, and even Suicide. The fastest growing homeless population in the U.S. is female Iraq war Veterans.
Current resources are not adequate to help Veterans prepare for a future that aligns their passions, skills and mission in civilian life. The Operation Legacy workbook was specifically written to meet the Life Planning needs of U.S. Military Veterans with 314 pages including five steps and twenty exercises. It provides the tools and knowledge necessary for our Veterans to develop a plan for a great life, resulting in a legacy that they can pass down to future generations.
The authors are Doctors of Psychology, and Marriage and Family Therapy specializing in training and personal development. One of the co-authors is a United States Veteran.
Our U.S. Military Veterans should never have to pay for their workbook
They have already paid the price - Now it's our turn to give back. Citizens, companies, and organizations can buy books for the Veterans to honor their service and their future. Workbooks can be ordered at www.operationlegacy.net, and www.amazon.com: Book title: Operation Legacy. Purchasers may receive and give books to Veterans, or Operation Legacy can distribute to Veterans. Workshops are also available.
