It's Starts With You

Military and your involvement. The big picture. Not only can us as civilians help military families but we can also spread the word about the awareness of the every day struggle active duty members may face.  For the example the Wounded Warrior Project mission is to "honor and empower wounded warriors." This project raises awareness and asks for the public's aid in helping with wounded soldiers. Civilians graciously have provided  programs and service. As of May 1, 2013 there are over 30,000 WWP alumni."Wounded Warrior Project^® (WWP) takes a holistic approach when serving warriors and their families to nurture the mind and body, and encourage economic empowerment and engagement." Their success rate in helping with wounded warriors and their families has been over 85% each time. As civilians having the ability to give back to the people who serve to make the country safer for everyone is a privilege. The picture below represents the sites they have around the nation. Even though it may not seem like a lot the Wounded Warrior Project is making a great step into being a vital resource to help tell soldiers that they aren't alone. So let's step back and look at the big picture and realize that making a different starts with us!
