| The Heroes to Heroes inaugural team in Israel during their visit in September, 2011. |
Heroes to Heroes' team members participate in a 10-day program in Israel where they get to know their team which is composed of both American and Israeli wounded veterans. The purpose of the trip is to have participants motivate, inspire, teach and support one another as they are exposed to different perspectives, veteran's services and the sights and sounds of the Holy Land. The trips are secular and veterans from all services and all backgrounds are welcome to apply.

| Heroes to Heroes Founder Judy Schaffer speaking at the Israeli Knesset in September, 2011. |
“I wish I could express to you just how much this time in Israel did for me - in my personal life, my professional and my spiritual life. My whole world is a better place and for the first time I feel, and it’s pretty cool.“
“Israeli friends, I think most of us agree that we are already ready to come back as we miss you all.”
"I am missing Israel immensely. It's difficult to explain how in such a little time this country could have crawled into my heart. But I can tell you one thing... This is not my last time stepping on Israeli terrain.
“I am honored to be part of a wonderful team and to have the opportunity to meet fellow wounded veterans in another part of the world. I have now made new friends, especially my Israeli friend. We have been back one day but already we have been in contact with each other and look forward to having him come over to NY in the near future.”
"The change in my husband has been wonderful. He went from being depressed all the time to happy and busy. I can tell when he's working on anything having to do with Heroes to Heroes, he's happy."
