Texas Couples Pair Up For a Colorful Experience

PEARLAND, Texas(March 21, 2016) — There are fewer festive ways to bring couples together than with brushes, ready palettes, a whirlwind of bold colors, and the promise of a masterpiece. Recently, Wounded Warrior Project^® (WWP) hosted wounded veterans and their mates for Texas couples painting in Pearland.

The group of WWP Alumni and their mates enjoyed not only brightening their canvases by using their own talents, but also games—including music trivia—and a prize raffle. A unique surprise of the event was the “conjoined” aspect of the paintings so that the paired pieces from each spouse came together to create a whole called a “diptych.” The Alumni event provided the perfect opportunity for combat veterans and their spouses to mingle with attendees who share similar experiences.

Wounded Veterans March in Memory of Second World War Survivors

WHITE SANDS, N.M. (March 22, 2016) – In honor of those who fell during the Bataan Death March of 1942, Wounded Warrior Project^® (WWP) Alumni participated in the Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range. Marchers come to this memorial event for the personal challenge, the spirit of competition, or to foster esprit de corps in their units. Others march in honor of a family member or veteran who was in the Bataan Death March, or who was taken as a prisoner of war by the Japanese in the Philippines.

“Some of the survivors from the actual march were there,” said Marcus Cole, Army veteran and WWP Alumnus. “When you think of the history and try to put it into perspective - what the original death march must’ve been like - there are no words. It’s very hard to fathom. It was an unforgettable experience.”
