New Program That Lets Veterans Sail to Recovery<br />
Seeks Sailboat Donations<br />
Veterans On Deck is a new 501c3 non-profit that capitalizes<br />
on Charleston, SC’s maritime history and character<br />
to provide team-building sailing experiences to<br />
veterans. The organization offers a way for veterans,<br />
who often seem to fall into patterns of withdrawal and<br />
isolation, to achieve re-connection, re-socialization, and<br />
personal growth by using sailing to impart mastery<br />
and success experiences in a social setting. Veterans on<br />
Deck currently uses “loaner” boats, but is looking for 2-<br />
4 sailboats of its own, in the 25- to 38-foot range. For<br />
those interested in making a tax-deductible donation of<br />
a boat (in good working order), or funds, contact the<br />
executive director, Ron Acierno, at acierno@musc.edu,<br />
(843) 364-1667, or go to www.veteransondeck.org.<br />
