SSG Travis Mills coined the term “recalibrated veteran” after losing portions of his limbs in an IED explosion while serving our country in Afghanistan. He was injured and healed; he didn’t want to be called a “wounded warrior.” His wounds had healed, so, therefore, he wasn’t wounded anymore. Instead, he referred to himself as recalibrated. He adjusted to his new normal; he recalibrated.
Our Programs for Akron, OH Veterans
The Travis Mills Foundation offers seven distinct programs free to veterans and their families. Each program has been carefully crafted to meet the needs of each veteran, no matter where you are in your life. We understand rehabilitation is ongoing, and our foundation is committed to supporting veterans and their families every step of the way.

HHERO PROGRAM
Among our programs, the HHERO program is our most popular, tailored for recalibrated veterans and their spouses, partners, children, or a chosen guest. If you are in Akron, OH, let’s get your trip schedule to the Belgrade Lakes region in Maine and enjoy a well-deserved retreat. Our family programs run throughout the year and feature activities such as kayaking, zoo visits, wheelchair basketball, archery, dog sledding, snowshoeing, and more.
WARRIOR PATHH
Warrior PATHH is the first-ever program in the country designed to build Post-Traumatic Growth in combat veterans and first responders. It enables these wounded warriors to transform times of struggle into profound strength and growth. The training begins with a 7-day on-site initiation at the Travis Mills Foundation, followed by 90 days of training delivered by PATHH guides who have all completed the program themselves and are a bit further down the path.
THE RECALIBRATE PROGRAM
The Recalibrate Program is one of our newer programs as of 2022. This program capitalizes on a participant’s motivation following the Retreat through financial assistance, goal-setting, and long-term follow-up. This program assists with a wide range of needs, including providing a computer for someone’s home office, covering moving expenses for a critical move, or even paving a driveway.
