My son and his wife called the other day to see what my husband and I wanted for Christmas. We told him, since he is in the Army, to donate to Wounded Warriors instead. We're at an age where we don't need the material things and would much rather it go to our heroes. A big thank you to you and your friend.

I would give money, but I already have a place to donate for support of the wounded soldiers. I support <strong>The Wounded Warrior Project</strong>, and have since I heard about a few years ago. They help the wounded and provide the comforts that mean so much to someone in hospital. When the wounded arrive in the States, they arrive with their underwear and not much else. All personal property, such as socks, razors, music players, etc. are left behind and not replaced by the military when the soldier arrives at the hospital. The WWP provides a backpack that is filled with the things a wounded soldier might need. <blockquote>Wounded warrior Backpacks contain essential care and comfort items including clothing, toiletries, calling card, CD player, and playing cards, all designed to make their hospital stay more comfortable. They are provided to severely wounded service members arriving at military trauma centers. A smaller version of the WWP Backpack, Transitional Care Packs are sent directly to Iraq and Afghanistan to provide immediate comfort during a warrior’s relocation to the U.S. military trauma center. </blockquote> The Wounded Warrior Project also helps provide transport back and forth to the hospital for the ones who are on outpatient treatment or need to have prostheses refitted. They have to take those trips at their own expense, the Army doesn't pay or give vouchers. The Wounded Warrior Project has filled in many of the gaps left in by the military in caring for our wounded soldiers. And they help take the strain off the families, too. So, perhaps you can add them to your list of worthy organizations that help our wounded troops. https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,840/ Good for your friend!!

You have a very good friend there, in every sense of the word. I, too will donate to this very worthy cause. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Ferd Larry:

It is so important to support our people in uniform, whether it be active (e.g, USO), or veterans (e.g., IAVA), and those who have been wounded in action, especially at this time of year. I am going to go make a donation right now. Thanks, Larry! Thanks so much for letting us know abt this important organization, and your role in it.
