Wounded Warrior Project

     I feel that the Wounded Warrior Project is a very honorable organization.  It helps to build the confidence of the people that are part of the program and helps them feel loved.  Many people who have been wounded in war come back and have PTSD and in turn, that can lead to them feeling depressed and unappreciated.  WWP can help veterans realize that they are not being forgotten and that they did in fact make a difference. To me, this is one of the greatest aspects of the program.  Not only does it help the people in the program, but it helps raise awareness in the general population too.  It seems that some people believe that soldiers go off to war, fight, come back, and everything is all hunky-dory. WWP shows them that the people who died serving our country are not the only ones who sacrificed their whole lives. The survivors have given up a major part of themselves also because they will never be the same. They are forced to live with the memories of what they saw and experienced and nothing will ever be able to completely make that go away.  After all, there are things that a person can't unsee that are utterly life-changing.  The Wounded Warrior Project is an amazing organization that benefits not only our admirable and intrepid soldiers, but also ordinary civilians.  What the WWP is doing is showing everyone the sacrifices made and giving honor to those who deserve it.  I would like to say a big THANK YOU to whoever thought of and created this idea for what they have done, are doing, and will do in the future. :)
