Good day; some forum members may recall me on this forum as DavidsRetired, but I removed myself several months back for personal reasons; essentially minimising my online activity.
Regardless, I had mentioned in 2015, 16 that I was developing a Camino walk for soldiers, and several members of this forum were interested and indeed supported and followed my initiative from start to finish; which I greatly appreciate. Additionally, I had met a number of interested pilgrims during my 2015 walk in support of this undertaking and during the actual conduct in April/May of this year.
One of the primary talking points was on the outcome of this initiative, while others were interested in developing similar projects and looking for lessons learned. During the development stages of this project, I had decided that a Post Activity Report would be instrumental in its long-term success. The goal was for a full-time charity organisation to adopt this project as their own and offer it to those soldiers who may benefit from this type of activity.
Which brings me to the point of re-joining this forum and this post, especially as many members of this forum provided their support for this project.
I am in the final stages of drafting the report and am hoping to have it posted on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/RoyalCamino) in the very near future, for those interested.
The final report will be distributed to key players in the Canadian Forces, Veterans Affairs and those organisations currently supporting veterans within Canada. Additionally, several militaries have asked for a copy of the report, including the Spanish Military Attaché to Washington and Ottawa. I am currently seeking to expand the distribution list and, hopeful to include Chaplain Branches throughout several militaries. If anyone has suggestions (and email addresses) where I can send a PDF version, I will be happy to send a copy directly.
Again, thank you for your support over the years.
Cheers,
Dave
