Force Blue

#1

So, this is cool.  I'm glad these combat veterans found something that gives them purpose in life after serving their country. And it happens to help the environment. 

"Hurricanes Irma and Maria struck the Caribbean and Puerto Rico in September with deadly force, leaving a trail of horrific destruction for some of the world's most precious coral reefs. Without coral reefs, over 4,000 species of fish, 800 species of hard corals, and hundreds of other species are in danger. Veterans have stepped in to help.

Force Blue is deploying its team of veteran Special Operations Forces divers to restore coral reefs in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. These SOF veterans are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with an incredible amount of pain and trauma, made worse by a feeling of "separation from service" and the lack of a positive mission going forward. In fact, every year an estimated 8,000 veterans commit suicide.

By training SOF veterans to restore coral reefs damaged by the Hurricanes, Force Blue seeks to address two seemingly unrelated problems — the devastation of the Caribbean's marine resources, and the difficulty returning combat veterans have in adjusting to civilian life."
