About Road to Recovery:
Imagine finding all the advice, encouragement, and support in one place. That’s what the “Road to Recovery Conference and Tribute” is all about.
We sponsor a yearly all-expense-paid educational and service event to provide wounded troops, their families and caregivers with one source of information regarding benefits, services, counseling, insurance, healthcare, financial support, career counseling and employment opportunities. At past conferences, artists such as Toby Keith, Lee Ann Womack and Gary Sinise have surprised attendees with special, exclusive concerts just for them.
The Road to Recovery Conference and Tribute is truly the first step in their recovery.
CBS Reporter Steve Hartman paid a visit to Camp C.O.P.E. at the 2007 event, and shared his experiences with Katie Couric on CBS Evening News.

This year's conference was held in Orlando from November 30 to December 5, 2007 and brought together 150 severely wounded troops plus their families. The conference was a huge success! A big thank you goes out to all of our sponsors, attendees, Coalition staff, event planners, and the staff of the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort for making this years event truly magical. We also would like to thank country music star and American Idol alum Josh Gracin and 42nd and Nelson for performing at our final evening gala. We are already planning for next years conference, so stay tuned!

“The Road to Recovery Conference and Tribute is a great example of how the private, public and government sectors can work together to help severely wounded troops and their families. We are grateful to the Department of Veteran Affairs, Department of Defense, government service organizations and other groups who are working with us to put this event together. This is the only place where these families are under the same roof with all these organizations and given the chance to ask questions, address issues and learn about resources available.” -J.R. Martinez, National Spokesman, Coalition to Salute America's Heroes |
