🇮🇹🍝 We’re Excited to Welcome a Friend to the CVC Family! 🇺🇸

Combat Veterans to Careers is proud to announce that local celebrity chef and friend, Sean Langan, is bringing his award-winning cuisine to our CVC property with the opening of Luna Cucina Outdoor Café.

Sean has spent years building a reputation for culinary excellence, with restaurant concepts that have earned national recognition and praise. More importantly, he has become a valued friend and supporter of our mission, making this partnership especially meaningful to all of us at CVC.

Luna Cucina offers far more than the typical food truck experience. Guests can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine crafted with fresh ingredients and Chef Sean’s signature attention to detail, including favorites such as:

🍷 Mussels in Wine Sauce with red wine tomato sauce and wood-fired focaccia
🍅 Baked Meatballs in Fresh Marinara with parmesan and garlic breadcrumbs
🍝 Chicken & Mushroom Fettuccine with garlic, shallots, and cream sauce
🥩 Short Rib Ravioli with veal demi and gorgonzola
🧀 Multi-Layered Lasagna with house-made Bolognese sauce
🦆 Smoked Duck Gourmet Pizza with whipped feta and caramelized onions
☕ Specialty coffees, handcrafted desserts, gourmet salads, wood-fired pizzas, and much more.

What makes this partnership even more special is that a portion of the proceeds from Luna Cucina will help support Combat Veterans to Careers and the veterans and families we serve every day.

We’re grateful to have Sean as part of our community and excited to share his incredible food with everyone who visits our campus.

Come hungry, bring your friends, and experience authentic Italian cuisine while helping support local veterans.

Today marks the beginning of PTSD Awareness Month 🇺🇸🪖 — a time dedicated to raising awareness, breaking stigma, and reminding those suffering that they are never alone.

For many veterans, the battle does not end when they come home.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a very real condition that many veterans endure. It is a physical and psychological response to trauma that can change the way the brain processes fear, danger, emotions, and survival. For many veterans, the brain remains in survival mode long after the danger is over.

PTSD can affect every aspect of a person’s life — relationships, careers, sleep, mental health, and overall well-being. Many symptoms are often misunderstood or overlooked because they may appear as:

• Short tempers or irritability
• Isolation from family and friends
• Overworking or staying constantly busy
• Trouble sleeping
• Hypervigilance or always being “on guard”
• Emotional numbness
• Substance abuse or self-medication
• Difficulty relaxing or feeling safe, even in normal environments

These are not signs of weakness.

In many cases, PTSD develops because the brain became exceptionally good at survival under extreme stress. The same instincts that helped protect someone in combat or crisis can later become difficult to turn off in civilian life.

Sadly, veterans are among the populations most affected by PTSD, depression, and su***de. Many continue suffering in silence because of stigma, fear, or the belief that they must carry these burdens alone.

At Combat Veterans to Careers, we want our veterans to know that help is available, healing is possible, and asking for support is not weakness — it is courage.

Through our Operation Field Trip program and other outreach initiatives, we are committed to helping veterans find hope, healing, renewed purpose, and access to life-changing support and treatment options.

The good news is that PTSD is treatable, and recovery is possible.

Many veterans have found healing through:

• Therapy and counseling
• Peer support groups
• Wellness programs
• Fitness and community support
• Faith-based support
• Innovative treatments such as ketamine-assisted therapy

No veteran should have to fight this battle alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Asking for help is not weakness — it is courage.

Resources:

• National Center for PTSD – U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
• Su***de & Crisis Lifeline – Call or Text 988
• Veterans Crisis Line – Dial 988 and Press 1

This June, let us stand together to raise awareness, break the stigma surrounding PTSD, and remind every veteran and first responder that they are never alone in the fight.
