Team RWB – Keeping Veterans Connected
Every year, more than 250,000 active-duty Service members transition out of the military to join the multitude of Veteran communities nationwide. Transitioning Service members, however, face many challenges to their physical and mental wellbeing. This is why Team Red, White & Blue (RWB) is dedicated to connecting Veterans communities through physical and social activity. Tackle challenges by joining Team RWB’s virtual activities, like meditation and yoga. Some chapters are also offering in-person events that adhere to safety restrictions (e.g., no more than 10 people, social distancing, etc.).
