Wounded Warrior 2011

Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, organization whose mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors. To date, over 40,000 members of our nation's armed forces have been physically wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Studies estimate more than 300,000 will suffer from the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) (RAND 2007). These injuries are often devastating, leaving a formerly active young man or woman unable to care for themselves. While grateful for their return, the round-the-clock care required to treat these wounded warriors often falls on their families, giving caregivers no choice but to leave their jobs and forego healthcare of their own.

WWP provides programs and services to assist injured veterans and their families during their recovery, rehabilitation, and transition. Whether through caregiver retreats, combat stress programs, career and education services, or adaptive sporting opportunities, WWP's vision is to help make this generation of wounded warriors the most successful and well-adjusted in our nation's history.

This support cannot be underestimated and plays a vital role in enhancing the healing process. The PSAs come in lengths of 60 and 30 seconds for your convenience.
