The Wounded Warrior Project is our (us regular folks) way to help out those who serve in our Armed Services. There are many who never know what it is like to have a person close to you serving in the military. The worry, doubt, fear, helplessness...especially if your loved one is serving on foreign shores.
Now just imagine if that loved one is wounded...most people believe the government steps in and takes care of it all...and they do try (I have to believe they do), but there is so much need and so little coverage. The purpose of the project is three fold:
# To raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members.
# To help injured service members aid and assist each other.
# To provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service member
Go and read "Who we serve" and you will see that the events of September 11 were a catalyst for the creation of this program...
All I ask is that you check it out, then do something if you feel led. Please remember: "The greatest casualty is being forgotten"
