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.
NROTC Wounded Warrior Wagon Soon we hope to have a large fleet of Wounded Warrior Wagons, drivers and caregivers throughout America. | |||||||||||
