The Wounded Warrior Project works to raise public awareness and funds for wounded service members, help wounded service members aid each other, and provide direct programs and services for injured service men and women.
Their call to action includes opportunities for donation, sponsored products, fitness events and hiring opportunities for employers interested in offering employment to Wounded Warriors.
In supporting their call to action, they explain how advancements in medical care, battle techniques and body armor have increased the survival rates of soldiers. They state, for every solider who died in two of the major operations following 911, 7 were wounded. Over 48,000 have been physically wounded and another 400,000 live with combat-related stress, major depression, and post-traumatic stress disorders.
