""When I see this, I'm thinking hallelujah. It's the first real indicator that the VA is willing to step up and get that chapel restored, which frankly I think is their responsibility.""
""What we're hoping there is that it would not be just a convening site, but also a site to begin addressing moral injury, which is a phenomenon that traumatized populations suffer, and particularly veterans and combat veterans.""
Wadsworth Chapel, the oldest building on Wilshire Boulevard, is set for potential restoration by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The chapel, built in 1900, is envisioned as a supportive space for veteran interfaith programming and wellness, following President Trump's executive order for a National Center for Warrior Independence. Activists, including Jonathan Sherin, express hope for the restoration, viewing the chapel as vital for the veteran community and addressing issues like moral injury among veterans.
