Wounded Warrior Project

Our society needs people to make charitable contributions.
The cost of providing medical treatment to wounded warriors is expensive. Wounded warriors suffer from a wide variety of problems ranging from loss of limb or eyesight to mental problems.
Many wounded warriors have lost the ability to earn a good living when they go back into civilian life. Can you imagine trying to work on computers without eyesight, or the difficulty the firefighter would have if he only had one leg?
Our charitable dollars help these wounded warriors. It takes a lot of money to teach a blind person how to read brail or a person who has lost a leg how to walk using an artificial limb. And then they have to be retrained into new job skills so they can earn a living.
When we as Americans send our young men and women into battle, we should do so with the understanding that when they come home we have a responsibility to help them in whatever way is necessary so they can live normal productive lives.

War is...

War is scary, watching people get hurt.
War is costly, spending money.
War is destructive, destroying peoples lives.
War is thinky, knowing what to do.
War is sad, dying people.
War is painful, hurting others.
War is bloody, bleeding everywhere.
War is loud, bombing everywhere.
War is red, painting with blood.
War is dangerous, risking lives.
