Matt Watkins, Founder and CEO of Operation Headshot was featured in the January 2025 edition of Leatherneck Magazine. During his interview he discussed the adversities that can accompany transitioning away from the military and how through gaming he was able to rebuild and strengthen the bonds with his two children. Though Operation Headshot does not have a focus on healing through the power of gaming, we find it is important to build relationships and partnerships with other organizations that do, such as the Warrior GMR Foundation. The transition off of active duty can be difficult. That is why it is so important we as #veterans, #militaryspouses, and #advocates of the #militarycommunity band together to provide support.
