WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 2019 -- Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) announced support for Vail Veterans Program (VVP), a 501(c)(3) organization that rebuilds veterans' confidence through extraordinary, therapeutic experiences.

"Vail Veterans Program excels at building a strong veteran community and delivering first-rate programs to meet the needs of recovering veterans. Our strategic collaboration with Vail Veterans Program will improve the quality of life for wounded veterans and their family members and help them regain a sense of adventure and accomplishment."
Warrior and Spouse Vow Peace, Protection, and Prosperity During Couples Project Odyssey
SAVANNAH, Ga., Jan. 14, 2019 -- Sidney Brady and his wife, Elizabeth, are no strangers to the stresses of marriage and raising a family. Adding another level of complexity, Sidney copes with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) stemming from his deployment during Operation Enduring Freedom. Returning home, Sidney registered with Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) to get involved with Project Odyssey®, a program that helps with combat stress.
"When dealing with my PTSD, I know things can get out of control," said Sidney, an Army veteran. "I get very anxious, angry, and frustrated and simply want to avoid everything and everybody."
Sidney recognizes the way he coped with PTSD placed an unhealthy strain on his relationship with his wife and children, and it changed the entire dynamic of their home life.
