Looking for a meaningful, positive segment? Heroes to Heroes Foundation brings U.S. combat veterans to Israel for a powerful spiritual journey of faith and emotional healing — helping those battling moral injury, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts find new purpose, hope and leadership skill development.

Suggested guest:
Judy Elias, Founder of Heroes to Heroes Foundation
She can share vivid, uplifting stories from the latest veterans’ trip — how faith and brotherhood are saving lives when all else has failed.

Suggested segment:
“From Combat to Courage: Finding Healing in Israel.”

It’s a visually rich story — American vets in Israel reconnecting through faith, forgiveness, and friendship. Perfect as a short, surprising, or “good news” closer to balance the day’s hard headlines.

Outcomes & success indicators

• High‑risk veterans who felt “beyond help”
  Many participants arrive after other programs, counseling, and medications have failed, often isolated and on a path to self‑destruction.​

• 12‑month transformation, not a quick fix
  Veterans commit to a year‑long journey: spiritual healing, peer support, a 10‑day trip to Israel, plus guided reintegration and ongoing alumni connection.​

• Lifetime support and mentoring
  Alumni gain 24/7 online chat, monthly virtual meetups, speaking opportunities, and access to all Heroes to Heroes events, with many becoming mentors to new vets.​

• “Life‑changing” spiritual and emotional impact
  Heroes to Heroes describes the journeys as “life‑changing,” a “war for their souls” where veterans move from despair to belonging, purpose, and peace.

What veterans tell Judy:

• “I tried everything else. I was done. On that trip, standing at the Wall, I felt hope for the first time in years.”​

• “I went to Israel ready to give up. I came home with brothers, faith, and a reason to get out of bed.”​

• “For years I believed God could never forgive me. In Israel, with other vets, I finally began to forgive myself.”​
