Some veterans of the war on terror are taking a new approach to helping each other heal.
Retired Delta Force operator Derek Nadalini and nonprofit CEO Pack Fancher have launched the Operator Relief Fund to help "shadow warriors" — elite military and intelligence operatives — who fought in U.S.-led wars after 9/11. Their goal is to support service members, veterans and spouses of the special operations and intelligence communities with a focus on operational and direct support personnel.
The Operator Relief Fund is like a clearinghouse for specialized services to address traumatic brain injury, stress disorders and substance abuse, among other challenges, with the goal of offering veterans more immediate help and access to innovative treatments.
