Michelle and Chris Lang are the co-founders of Operation Honor Rural Salute. Chris is an Army veteran. Michelle is his wife–and a fierce advocate, caregiver, and bridge-builder.
When they returned to rural Pennsylvania, they expected the transition to be hard. But they didn’t expect to feel so alone in it. No local VA. No one who understood the weight of invisible wounds. No roadmap forward. Just a couple doing their best to hold it all together. So they did what most veterans do: they figured it out themselves. And then, they built a way forward for others, too.
Their story became the heartbeat of Operation Honor: Rural Salute™–a movement built by veterans for veterans who live beyond the reach of most resources.
