Wounded Warrior Project.

I had never heard of the Wounded Warrior Project until Mrs. Gillmore, my 11th grade English teacher, presented the charity to our class.  The Wounded Warrior Project's mission states they want to "Honor and empower wounded warriors."
Chad Brumpton, a wounded warrior, ".. recently received a pair of running legs. It was the first time [he] was able to run in five years." Through this organization he was able to achieve his goal of being able to walk again even though doctors had told him it would be impossible.
 Another example of a wounded warrior survivor is a man named Anthony Villarreal. "[He] wants to help wounded warriors in their recovery process'. And [he] wants to give insight to civilians that these warriors are out there. Ask [him] and [he] will tell you [his] story.” Through the Wounded Warrior Project Anthony was able to wake up 3 months after his deadly encounter to see his family again. I think we should do everything in our power to help out men and women such as these that risk their lives daily to protect ours.
Thanks to everyone who supports and volunteers at this charity, men like Chad and Anthony are able to fully recover from their near death experience, and get back to living a normal life.
