FORT BELVOIR, Va., They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and words do matter. That’s why the Army Recovery Care Program's Senior Leader Summit at Fort Belvoir recently emphasized the importance of sharing the stories of the nation’s wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers. Strategic Communications Chief Julie Oliveri underscored the crucial role of the Soldier Recovery Units in this process. “Every Soldier has a story and a path through recovery, and the SRUs play a pivotal role in sharing these stories. When other Soldiers or family members read and can see themselves or their Soldier in the article, the word-of-mouth spreads the incredible benefits of this program far faster than any posters or advertisements.”
