Until recently I hadn't thought much about the Wounded Warrior Project. After reading about Chad Brumpton and Anthony Villarreal I finally realized how important this charity is.
“I became a bilateral below knee amputee on January 24, 2008. It took me a year to make that decision. I met with a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) psychologist during that time to help me deal with my fears. I wanted to know I could go back to my regular life even though part of my body was missing. I was determined to overcome any psychological repercussions.” The generous people who support this charity are the reason why Chad was able to over come PTSD. It takes a lot of courage for the men and women of our country to volunteer to serve, so in order to thank them, we should all support the Wounded Warrior Project in any way we can.
Anthony Villarreal, another Wounded Warrior, was injured when a rocket exploded in the back of his vehicle on the battle field. “I want to help wounded warriors in their recovery process. And I want to give insight to civilians that these warriors are out there. Ask us and we’ll tell you our story. We’re so much more than something to stare at.” Here Anthony is talking about how much the Wounded Warrior Project helped him and how he now in return wants to help others who have been injured as well.
I believe we should all help the Wounded Warrior Project so men like Chad and Anthony can get back to their families and to their normal day to day life. Not all of us can serve the country on the battle field, so lets serve our county by helping those in need.
