BOOK OF QUOTES

Wednesday, January 23, 13

High Ground was never just about promoting a lm. We wanted to raise awareness of the courage, strengths, and challenges of our warriors once they return home. In order to do this, we partnered with and highlighted the hard work of over fty-ve organizations that work with veterans and their families. All were started by veterans, or someone in the military family. Some organizations are large, others are run by a handful of people. But each volunteer carries in their heart, a deep commitment to those who ght for our freedom. To nd our partners go to http://highgroundmovie.com/ partners And, nd us on Facebook!

FROM THE DOCUMENTARY, HIGH GROUND: WHO KNEW?

YOU DONT UNBUILD A SOLDIER

THE REAL BATTLE IS WHEN YOU COME HOME.

PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND: WOUNDS ARE DEEPLY PERSONAL. SOMEONE SHUT OFF THE TV ...AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL TURN IT BACK ON.

PEOPLE STILL DONT GET IT THAT NOT ALL PAIN IS PHYSICAL.

Those we serve persevere in the face of insurmountable odds, and are extremely dedicated in overcoming mental and physical obstacles. High Ground serves as a tangible example of our Nation's Warriors looking beyond their mental and physical limitations and is an inspiration to others to discover who they are with their new bodies, new mindsets and new lives.

High Groundshows the connection of our veterans and military families to a healthy planet. Without mountains to climb, clean air, and cascading pure waters, where else can those who have been most affected by war go to heal? We need to ensure that similar resources are available here in the United States for all of our service members and military families, all of Americans. Thank you for showing in a deeply personal way the connection between human and environment, and how this connection can and does heal. Stacy Bare, OIF Veteran, Executive Director Sierra Club, Mission Outdoors

"High Ground tells the story we need to see and hear. One of sacrice, pain, hope, and healing. There are those who walk among us who have sacriced so much for our benet, namely veterans, spouses, children and parentd. We can't function as a civil society without recognizing their joy and pain. High Ground reminds us of them, and of what's possible when everyone aspires to something great." -Carl Salazar, Founder and Chairman of Expedition Balance,

High Ground has become a foundation in my thinking; that on days when I am struggling, I think about these wounded warriors who climbed a mountain. If they can do something of such magnitude with such tenacity and grace, then surely I can put forth energy and nish my task at hand which is so minor in comparison.
-Shelle Michaels Aberle, Founder & Director, Military Ovation
