As a Veteran of Operation Iragi Freedom ‘03-04 I can appreciate how, once home, this kind of activity would be healing and allow on to return to “normal” life again. I hope they can continue and expand this program. Wish we had something like this, I think it would make a huge difference in our returning Vets!

I could support that. Say, a transition period for returning vets - some sort of occupational therapy, where they feel involved, and like they are making a difference.

Please explain why digging would be therapeutic vs any other activity? I’m all for archeological digs and for helping soldiers to reintegrate into the community, but why these two activities together?
PS — Thank you for your service.

Why don’t you contact the VA with this article and your suggestions? We have plenty of archeological digs sites here in the US. It’s a great idea.
