HealthHealth
Having good health overall is a major key to a long and healthy life. Finding ways to take care of your health can aid in recovery and help you feel better daily. Get routine check-ups and visit your doctor when you're not feeling well. Sometimes, it is hard to tell whether not feeling well is due to a side-effect of medicine, a symptom of a health disorder or any other different health problem. Talk to your doctor or other health care specialist for any other questions or information.
Excellent health care…Close to home.

A DECADE OF SERVICE.A LIFETIME OF COMMITMENT.
WHO WE SERVE
Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001 and their families. On that date, America
watched in horror as approximately 3,000 people died including hundreds of firefighters and rescue workers. Many warriors note a sense of duty to volunteer for the military following these tragic events.
Sept. 11 also served as a stimulus for Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and New Dawn. Operation Iraqi Free-dom refers to military operations in Iraq that began March 19, 2003 and officially ended August 31, 2010. Operation Endur-ing Freedom refers to combat operations in Afghanistan and other regions in support of the Global War on Terror. Operation
New Dawn refers to the conclusion of operations in Iraq beginning September 1, 2010 and ending December 15, 2011.
For WWP, there is a distinct difference between members and alumni; the term alumni indicates a mutual shared experience and denotes your place in an organization was earned. There are no dues here - those were paid by wearing the uniform
and on the battlefield.

hopes to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history.WWP offers many different programs and support systems to help our warriors and their families.
VISION
