Definitely, there are positive effects. I would love to see veteran participation.
At it stands now, the majority of the contingent is made up of military members who are still serving, including the Soldier On guys. The only non-military members are those that we invite, such as VIPs of some type.
Could we have veterans who are no longer serving? I think we could.
Again, it comes down to the physical condition of the veteran. It's a challenge, obviously, to do something like this. But if we could have a veteran team, it would be amazing. I'm not aware of any studies that have formally said that to help healing and therapeutically, it is a good thing. Intuitively, I share your view that it would be, but I can't really say it more conclusively than that.
Perhaps Sergeant, you could talk about the therapeutic aspect, and the participation of Soldier On and how we recruit for that. I can talk about the cost alone.
