Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) serves veterans
and service members who incurred a physical or
mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their
military service on or after September 11, 2001 and
their families. On that date, America watched in horror
as approximately 3,000 people died including
hundreds of firefighters and rescue workers. Many
warriors note a sense of duty to volunteer for the
military following these tragic events.
Sept. 11 also served as a stimulus for Operations Iraqi
Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and New Dawn.
Operation Iraqi Freedom refers to military operations
in Iraq that began March 19, 2003 and officially ended
August 31, 2010. Operation Enduring Freedom refers
to combat operations in Afghanistan and other regions
in support of the Global War on Terror. Operation New
Dawn refers to the conclusion of operations in Iraq
beginning September 1, 2010 and ending December
15, 2011.
For WWP, there is a distinct difference between
members and alumni; the term alumni indicates a
mutual shared experience and denotes your place in
an organization was earned. There are no dues here those were paid by wearing the uniform and on the
battlefield.
