In this powerful episode of The Lasting Mission podcast, we hear from Van, a former professional surfer who overcame years of addiction and incarceration to now give back to the veteran community through his love of surfing. Alongside him is John, a 14-year Army veteran who, after multiple deployments and a life-changing battle with depression and suicide, found healing through Operation Surf, where he now serves as the Program Manager. Listen now to hear how these two men are making a lasting impact on veterans’ lives and find out how Operation Surf is changing the way veterans heal.
