HOLD THE LINE
HOLD THE LINE is an annual wellness summit exclusively for veterans & first responders to gather together to connect, and to inspire, motivate, and encourage you to prioritize your health & wellness as guardians — and as people.
Tunnel to Towers & Guardian Revival
We are two 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organizations with a mission to serve veterans, first responders, and their families, and we are collaborating to bring you this special event.
-
The mission of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is to honor the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001.
We also honor our military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country.
-
Guardian Revival is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization chartered to revive and preserve the mental health and well-being of veterans and first responders — our guardians — at no cost to them.
We offer outdoor adventures, companion dogs, music, peer support, and family & community events for all guardians.
First Responder & Veteran Testimonials
-
"We are not alone"
No matter what we are going through, there is someone who has had to endure the same thing or something similar at some point. There is comfort in that.
-
"I am the Solution"
They had me fired up and I would go to battle with those guys any day. They both motivated me to be a better person and acknowledge the fact that I am the solution.
-
"Creating Positive Change"
Thank you for providing such an important resource for the LE / First Responder / Military community. The information provided is truly valuable and critical in creating positive change.
-
"Wellness is Important"
[I learned that] there are many resources available for someone who is willing to accept help. Focusing on your wellness is more important than you realize when you’re lost in the day to day hustle.
-
"A Humbling Experience"
Overall it was an outstanding and humbling experience. I believe what really separated this seminar from other health & wellness seminars, was the panel portion. Having been able to sit there and hear others share their experiences in front of a large audience, really sends the message to those who are struggling that it's ok to talk to someone.
-
"We're in it Together"
People need to be more vulnerable with each other and share more. Professional settings or even group settings at work. Hold each other accountable and also check on each other more.
