According to the latest U.S. Department of Defense figures, at this writing, there have been 30,247 who have been wounded. Of the wounded, 13,441 could not return to duty. Many have sustained permanent debilitating injury.

Part 3 of NROTC's Mission Statement reads: Based on our ability to do so, we work to contribute to the relief of distressed military service members, military service veterans especially the severely wounded, their immediate families, and the immediate family members of military personnel who have died.

Today NROTC is providing aid to our wounded warriors returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

All of these wounded are in pretty bad shape. They are amputees, burn and gunshot victims and those who have suffered serious brain trauma due to roadside bombs. We pick them up from their homes and military hospitals, in an NROTC Wounded Warrior Wagon and shuttle them to sporting events and places such as restaurants, golf courses, bowling alleys, movie theaters, VFW and American Legion Posts to show them a good time. Patrons at these events and places get a chance to honor them and thank them for their service and sacrifice… and let them know they are appreciated. This show of support by others as we get them out to mix with the public, many for the first time after sustaining their injuries in battle, helps them, in their immediate recovery AND… on an ongoing basis after these wounded have returned home!

NROTC is doing something very special here. Let's never allow them to feel as though they have been forgotten!

We earnestly ask you to help us, help them, during their recuperative time of need AND… on an ongoing basis!... These wounded warriors really deserve our support!

Note: All wounded veterans from all wars/conflicts qualify to participate in NROTC's "Wounded Warrior Wagon" program, if we have transportation available in the area.
