Operation Healing Forces helps special forces soldiers and families whose relationships have been impacted by the call of duty.
Military service can challenge both service people and their families. When it comes to Special Forces, these soldiers have some of the highest divorce rates in the military and some of the highest injury and suicide rates. For Brant and Tanya Ireland, an injury almost derailed their love story until a charity that works to keep military families together stepped in. The pair first met in 2002. Just a year later, he joined the U.S. Army's Special Forces.
Donors loan Merkel their vacation homes, and retreat leads help partners come back to each other. 'We have employed retreat leads. Most of them are retired Rangers that have been through the same thing as the couples and the soldiers,' Merkel said. 'It's just very rewarding for us.' In 2016, the Irelands spent a week on Merkel's yacht with four other couples. The trip to the British Virgin Islands 'refreshed' the couple's souls and their marriage, Tanya said.
