Wounded Warrior Project

The WWP likes to say that their mission is "to honor and empower wounded warriors." WWP educates the public on the storiesof the veterans, provides aid for those injured soldiers, and promotes the acquaintances of the injured military officers. They provide programs to help the service members with fiances and accept donations.

I think that the Wounded Warrior Project is a good idea because most people don't hear about those wounded in service unless you know them. It helps raise awareness for something that we should be very conscious about, but we're surprisingly ill informed. It shows that many lives have been spared because of luck, or what some would call the grace of God.

I also find the WWP very eye-opening. It helps us as Americans see that our brothers and sisters are not just losing their lives, but flesh and bone for this country as well. But all we're concerned about it the cost of groceries and gas prices, and we aren't really concerned with our wounded neighbors who have more hardships than we do.

Along with these, the WWP also makes me very proud to live in a country where we are privileged to have people who want to sacrifice themselves just so we can have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It helps us see that we have people that we have neglected to give our appreciation to, even though they haven't asked for any.

The Wounded Warrior Project helps us recognize the sacrifices that these people have made for our sakes. The organization helps the younger generations, like myself, develop an understanding for the military world. It makes me happy to be an American because of these veterans, who have given their legs and arms for our welfare.
