Army veteran Robert DeMonbrun was looking for a way to help fellow soldiers and came up with something simple. He’d help them get some quality time in with their families.

“Life is tough for them and I wanted to give them a time to relax and decompress and just be together as a family and strengthen their family bonds,” said DeMonbrun.

So, he created Vacations for Warriors, which reaches out to service members who have su ered from physical or invisible traumatic injuries. On May 20, the group will hold what’s dubbed “Casino Night,” helping fund Vacations for Warriors.
