Military Boots and TAPS Paddle

In this online group, you will be surrounded by people who will help you share your story and give you the gift of listening to theirs. The second Wednesday of each month is a time to gather with other surviving Battle Buddies who understand the loss and grief of losing a friend who served or was serving in the United States Military. You can expect gently guided discussions. Share stories of your battle buddy, or simply listen and find healing from others who have experienced loss similar to yours.

What to Expect

Online groups are peer-led, facilitated sessions where there’s never pressure to share, but always an opportunity. Whether you attend once or regularly, you will always be welcomed. We value the importance of knowing that there are “places” we can show up and feel supported and inspired, and you can decide to connect with us every week or whenever it’s convenient or compelling.  

Please remember that, while we anticipate that these groups will become engaging, encouraging community gathering “places,” you never have to wait if you need to talk. We’re always here for you, 24 hours, 7 days a week, year-round, at 800-959-TAPS (8277).
