Ben Peterson - Heroes Honor Festival
Ben Peterson
Heroes Honor Festival
As an eight-year U.S. Army veteran serving two years in Iraq, Ben Peterson experienced the trauma of war. The prospect of coming home left him feeling extraordinarily vulnerable.
Upon arrival, Ben and his comrades were personally welcomed home by a squad of Vietnam veterans. That day, Ben not only lunged into the loving arms of his family, he cherished the embrace of an earlier generation who also knew war’s brutality.
Considering Vietnam vets were largely spurned when they returned home, their show of honor and compassion left an indelible mark on Ben as he transitioned into ‘normal’ life.
Heroes Honor Festival is a calling for Ben to give Vietnam veterans the long overdue welcome home they deserve and need.
