Ok Everyone,
It's less then 24 hours left and just wanted to give a blog out about the NYC Veterans Day Parade and the organization that I'll be walking with - The Wounded Warrior Project (it still seems surreal!) Anyhow, I'll leave the rest of the blog to WWP as who else to say what they do better then WWP....Until then see you at the parade!
Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is honored to support the 92nd Veterans Day Parade. As an organization with the mission to honor and empower wounded warriors, WWP’s purpose aligns with the parade’s overall goal to honor veterans of all generations and educate the public on the tremendous sacrifice and bravery of our nation’s Armed Forces.
Mind
We envision a generation of wounded warriors well-adjusted in mind, receiving support to overcome the challenges in readjustment. Our Combat Stress Recovery Program addresses the mental health and cognitive needs of service members returning from war. Through interactive programs, outdoor rehabilitative retreats, peer support, and professional services, warriors are given the tools to maintain healthy, meaningful relationships with family and friends, and pursue life goals without the barriers or stigmas associated with mental health issues.

Body
We envision a generation of wounded warriors well-adjusted in body, receiving the care they need to maximize rehabilitation and live active and healthy lives. Through adaptive sports, health, nutrition, and recreational activities, WWP helps warriors achieve independence and pursue an excellent quality of life.

Economic Empowerment We envision a generation of wounded warriors who are economically empowered. They are not unemployed or underemployed, and have opportunities to pursue a meaningful career or own their own business. WWP offers higher education programs, information technology training, and employment assistance services to encourage economic empowerment for warriors to provide long-term financial stability for themselves and their families.
Engagement
To ensure injured service members stay connected with one another, WWP has both a peer mentoring and robust Alumni program. Additionally, the policy and government affairs program ensures injured warriors and their families have a voice in local and national advocacy and legislative issues.
