This short read shares a four-year project to address service member integration of a highly-deployed cohort. In having a park that provides fun, quality activities ( and not trying to fix each other), spirits are refreshed and renewed in ways that work the world over. This series of essays sets out the blueprint from Rick's Place, a grassroots effort started by service members themselves. The essays share the moral, physical and psychological reasons behind the respite park. Such a case study helps a reader answer questions like: Why bother? What wounds of the heart does my community have that need to be tended? What does hope look like? How could I be part of this solution?
