2. The purpose of the Wounded Warrior Project is to assist veterans or service members that have received a physical or mental injury, illness or wound while serving in the military on or after September 11, 2001. Veterans or service members are their primary focus. And attending their needs is their mission.
The Wounded Warrior Project was founded in 2003. They began with delivering care packages to men and women who have returned from the battlefield. In September 2005, the Wounded Warrior Project was given $2.7 million by the United Spinal Association. After this, the organization began their own projects that ranged from providing compensation, education, health care, insurance, housing, employment to wounded veterans. As the donation grew, now they were able to assist veterans with post-traumatic stress, create connections with other veterans, and making transition to the civilian life.
