Chad Robichaux served 14 years in the marines and is a former professional mixed martial arts champion.
He founded Mighty Oaks Foundation, a non-profit organization helping military and first responders throughout the country.
Heritage Church hosted Robichaux because of Medford-native, Terry Haines, who reached out to Mighty Oaks looking for help for local vets.
Mighty Oaks’ programs are peer-to-peer based to help combat high suicide and divorce rates and PTSD challenges.
“Since 1775, our veterans have fought and bled and died to preserve our freedoms and that’s still going on today,” Robichaux said. “There are troops still being deployed around the world today, preserving our freedoms here and so we should honor that by honoring these warriors who are struggling and help them get back on their feet and integrate back home to their communities.” he added.
