GRAND CANYON, Ariz. – It is not often a weekend will include shorts weather, driving rain, snow, and freezing conditions. But that is what a group of wounded veterans experienced while hiking through the Grand Canyon recently.
Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) took the injured service members on the three-day hike to increase camaraderie with their fellow wounded veterans. WWP sees Engagement as one of four pillars, along with Mind, Body, and Economic Empowerment, in the healing process for injured servicemen and women. The goal is to encourage camaraderie through events like this weekend’s hike and camp, so wounded veterans can build and expand their support structure.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The forecast called for temperatures in the upper fifties and a forty percent chance of rain. But what more than one hundred wounded veterans and their families experienced was a little more of a wintry mix. Snow, in the form of soap bubbles, and formed soap-flakes floated over crowds entering PetCo Park Friday night.
Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) made the night possible for these families to help the healing process for injured veterans. WWP’s vision is to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history. WWP recognizes the important role family plays in a wounded veteran’s recovery, so many events are planned to involve spouses and children.
