The “Wounded Warrior” project (formerly Eastern Paralyzed Veterans Association) seeks to assist service members who have been severely injured in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere around the world. Many of the injuries are traumatic amputations, gunshot wounds, burns and blast injuries that will retire the members from military service. Ongoing WW programs include Healthcare for Heroes, Housing for Heroes and Vans4Vets (visit www.unitedspinal.org or email: info@unitedspinal.org) In addition to those programs, the WWP promises to do the following:
Provide free assistance to veterans attempting to obtain benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies.
Represent veterans on state and federal legislative issues.
Work with business and government leaders to ensure veterans are given equal opportunity in hiring.
Provide outreach to modern veterans through programs and services that address their unique needs.
