The Rebuilt

Warrior Initiative

Working to help veterans, leaders, educators, and everyday people rebuild their lives through structure, purpose, and community.

Free Beach Retreats for Veterans

The Rebuilt Warrior Initiative is launching alongside the book. It will provide free beach retreats for veterans who are struggling, hosted in Coastline Collections vacation homes on Florida’s Emerald Coast (30A).

The first retreat is planned for fall 2027, and a nonprofit is being established. We’re building partnerships to support the retreats.

Why The Initiative Exists

Every year, thousands of veterans, first responders, educators, and professionals face challenges that leave them questioning who they are and where they belong.

Some battle trauma.

Some struggle with loss.

Some lose their purpose after a career transition, divorce, financial hardship, or personal setback.

The Rebuilt Warrior Initiative is launching alongside the book to help people rebuild.

Founded by Army veteran, educator, and leadership coach Eric Gillis, the initiative is being built to provide practical tools, leadership development, mentorship, and community support rooted in the STRUCTURE Framework.

Our long-term goal is simple. For every copy of The Rebuilt Warrior purchased, we want to place a copy into the hands of a veteran, service member, or individual who needs encouragement during a difficult season.
