“It’s been a great place for the last five months. One thing I like the most here is the friends. To be with other people who can relate to military training, principles, and values. We have something in common. I felt lonely in the civilian world but here, there’s a lot of good friends. It’s a good place to hold you over until you get your place: that’s the mission. It makes it easy to get back up and the day will come when you will be doing the same.” (About Safe Haven)
