This May, we had the privilege of celebrating the graduation of nine Veterans from the Camp Hope Program. This remarkable class included 6 Soldiers, 1 Sailor, 1 Marine, and 1 member of the United States Coast Guard, a branch we don't often have the opportunity to recognize at Camp Hope, making this evening even more special.

One of the greatest strengths of Camp Hope is that it brings together men from different branches, backgrounds, and life experiences, all united by a common mission: healing, growth, and reclaiming their lives. This class embodied that spirit. While the Army once again led the way in numbers, each graduate brought something unique to the brotherhood and left an impact on those around them.

Having a Coast Guardsman graduate alongside Soldiers, a Marine, and a Sailor served as a powerful reminder that the wounds of service do not discriminate by branch. Whether serving overseas, protecting our coastlines, or standing watch around the world, these Veterans shared a common commitment to their country, and now a common commitment to their recovery.

This group demonstrated resilience, humility, and a willingness to do the difficult work required for lasting change. They encouraged one another, challenged one another, and proved that healing is possible when you refuse to fight alone.

To our May graduates: thank you for trusting the process and allowing us to be part of your journey. Your perseverance has inspired your peers, your families, and our staff. We are incredibly proud of each of you and honored to celebrate this milestone together.
Congratulations, brothers. No matter the branch you served in, you are now forever connected through the Camp Hope family.

PTSD Awareness Month: A Simple Act Can Change a Veteran’s Future

The wounds of war are not always visible.

For many combat Veterans, the battle continues long after they return home. PTSD can affect relationships, careers, physical health, and a Veteran’s sense of purpose. Yet every day at Camp Hope, we see lives transformed when Veterans are given the support, resources, and community they need to heal.

This PTSD Awareness Month, you have an opportunity to be part of that transformation.

Your donation helps provide a safe environment where Veterans can connect with peers who understand their struggles, develop life-changing skills, and begin rebuilding hope for the future. What may seem like a simple gift can become a turning point in a Veteran’s journey toward healing.

Stand with those who stood for us.
💙 Support hope.
💙 Support healing.
💙 Support our Veterans.

This Week on Road to Hope Radio with David Maulsby

Join us this Sunday as we welcome Army Veteran Margarito Bruno to share his powerful journey of hope, healing, and restoration.

Margarito enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2000 to pursue his dream of serving in law enforcement as a Military Police Officer. After deploying to Iraq during the early stages of the war in 2003, he faced the chaos and challenges that would follow him long after returning home.

For 12 years, Margarito served in law enforcement in his hometown of Chicago, but the invisible wounds of war eventually took their toll. Struggling with PTSD, guilt, shame, loss of purpose, identity issues, and substance abuse, he found himself searching for a way forward.

After relocating to San Antonio in 2025, Margarito connected with the PTSD Foundation of America through local support groups. It was the Outreach Team's genuine care and commitment that convinced him he wasn't alone in the fight.

Now, three months into his journey at Camp Hope, Margarito says, "My attitude has changed," as he continues to rebuild his life, rediscover his purpose, and strengthen his faith.

Don't miss this inspiring conversation about resilience, recovery, and the power of hope.

Tune in this Sunday for Road to Hope Radio with David Maulsby and hear how healing is possible for those battling the invisible wounds of war.

PTSD Awareness Month: Help Us Bring Hope to Those Who Served

Every day, combat Veterans across our nation battle invisible wounds that most people never see. PTSD, depression, anxiety, and moral injury can leave Veterans feeling isolated, hopeless, and unsure where to turn.

Through peer support, mentoring, life-skills training, and a community of fellow Veterans who understand their struggles, men and women are finding hope, rebuilding relationships, and reclaiming their lives. The organization's mission is to provide hope and healing to Veterans and their families affected by combat-related PTSD and other invisible wounds.

This Week on Road to Hope Radio with David Maulsby

Join us this Wednesday as we welcome Army Veteran Matthew Lunsford of Buford, Georgia, who will share his powerful journey from combat, struggle, and despair to hope and healing.

Matthew served as an 11B Infantryman with deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. After returning home, he faced the invisible wounds of war, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. He battled nightmares, hyper-vigilance, and alcohol abuse for years. Following a relapse, his wife helped him find the PTSD Foundation of America | Camp Hope, where he arrived in January 2026 with little hope for the future. In Matthew’s own words, “I didn’t have any hopes when I first got here.”

Now, Matthew is experiencing something he never thought possible, the restoration of hope, purpose, and faith. Tune in as he shares how Camp Hope has helped him rebuild his life, reconnect with God, and begin a new chapter of healing.

Don’t miss this inspiring conversation on Road to Hope Radio, hosted by David Maulsby, where real Veterans share real stories of transformation and recovery.
