The two main purposes of the Sanctuary, are also our two core values: Refuge and Redemption. The Sanctuary first and foremost is a Refuge of Sacred Trust for those who have suffered trauma on our own behalf. The Sanctuary is a place where the traumatized can get alone for reflection as well as share their trauma without fear of reprisal or violation of trust. We have our own full time facility, a 5500 square foot log lodge, available 55 miles W of Washington, DC. We also have a few other properties available to us, owned by others, located in Florida, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Montana.

Several of our staff hold high level security clearances, TS/SCI/Poly, and we also have available state licensed counselors and ministers to provide for other clinical and spiritual follow up care as needed. Furthermore, there will never be any paperwork or verbal passage of a particular visitor's name attached to a traumatic experience, without the expressed intent of that visitor. The law provides for and enforces counselors and ministers protecting information shared. Furthermore, National Security reporting guidelines do not require reporting for those with security clearances who seek counseling, even if a mental health professional, “if” the assistance relates to “grief, family, or spiritual issues”.

The second main purpose is Redemption of trauma and of those who have been traumatized. The Sanctuary exists to serve those who have been physically, mentally, and emotionally traumatized while defending the United States ' and its citizens' way of life. We are establishing a community of the traumatized as we help them to process through their own tragedy in a way that turns their trauma into triumph for others.

We also help those who have suffered on our behalf to articulate existing gaps in technology and policy that if closed will serve to prevent future tragedies. We process these identified gaps into multi media presentations to be viewed by other visitors to the Sanctuary on site and remotely through secure web based access. These multimedia presentations will be at the unclassified level. The only requirement for all resident visitors to the Sanctuary will be that sometime during their stay, they will have to view the multi-media presentations of other visitors' problems. This will be facilitated by their possession of a key card giving them 24/7 access to the multi-media center.

If a visitor during, or after, the viewing of these presentations identifies a possible solution for another person's problem they can dial a 24/7 pager number. A staff multi-media presentation specialist will arrive within minutes to help the visitor articulate their proposed solution to another's problem in the form of a state of the art multi-media presentation. The assisting staff member will also schedule a briefing of the completed presentation to the innovation staff. Everyone on the innovation staff has gifting in particular fields of science and/or policy along with different operational backgrounds relating to guarding our way of life. We envision military special operations visitors identifying solutions to problems identified by previous law enforcement and Fire/EMS visitors to the retreat and/or debriefing center, and vice versa.

We will learn insightful lessons such as that the same thermal imaging used in military reconnaissance can be used in third world hurricane mudslides and post-earthquake rubble recovery efforts. The Sanctuary staff will provide and facilitate a refuge to foster the sharing of problems and solutions of Guardians amongst each other. The identified solutions will be designed into prototype solutions sold to the Guardian community to further fund the ongoing operations of the Sanctuary.

Our Guardians will always have access free of charge to the Sanctuary and will have 24/7 access during their stay to professional counselors and fellow Guardians who have worked through their own trauma. The family members of these visiting Guardians will also have access to counseling and assistance as well.
