I love the image of their logo: One serviceman is carrying another. One of the goals of the Wounded Warrior Project is to go from the man being carried to the one doing the carrying. I remember being in high school during the last years of the Viet Nam War. Servicemen coming home were often met with protesters at the airport. Luckier ones had families who were welcoming and supportive. Other than that, they were on their own trying to adapt to civilian life, even with a handicap. There was little or no help for servicemen dealing with PTSD.
What programs do they sponsor?
Among many programs are the Combat Stress Recovery Program, the Independence Program, Family Support, Peer Support, Physical Health and Wellness, Soldier Ride, Warriors to Work and WWP Talk.
Whenever I have a windfall, I donate generously.
Are you a veteran who is coping with a combat injury or PTSD? Do you want to go back to work? Does your family need someone to talk to?
