WHAT'S NEW AT WWP
Army Veteran Receives Picture Perfect Wedding Proposal
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12, 2020 -- Army veteran Briana McCrae thought she was just posing for a photo in front of Liberty Bell Center with her boyfriend Frank Carr. Then he handed her a sauce packet that said, "Marry Me." And produced an engagement ring.
The couple was surrounded by a group of veterans from Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), who were participating in a photography workshop. The group was in on the marriage proposal and continued snapping pictures. Frank got on one knee and popped the question on cue.
"I was completely surprised," Briana said.

NFL's Best Lace It Up with Wounded Warriors
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 4, 2020 -- Their size, speed, and Pro Bowl practice jerseys made it easy to differentiate the NFL stars from the injured veterans in a flag football game in Orlando recently. But as to who was having more fun…that was tougher to tell.
"It was truthfully one of the best events I've ever attended," said wounded warrior and 21-year Air Force veteran Vince Loran.
Veterans Break the Ice and Make New Connections with Wounded Warrior Project
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Feb. 3, 2020 -- Marine veteran Michael Pais brought his entire family to the ice rink: wife, daughters, grandson, and Gator the dog. Being able to connect with other families is one of the things that keeps Michael engaged with Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP). This time, his family got to ice skate together and meet other veterans and families.
"It helps with your mental health when you talk to other warriors," Michael said. "It's difficult to talk to family – even though they support you every time – but they might not understand what you're going through. It's more comfortable talking with other veterans because they've been there."
