Their statement that “The greatest casualty is to be forgotten” really says a lot in summing up the organization’s mission.  The vision IS achievable - To foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history. And their road map to do so is one certainly worthy of support with three simple but impactful steps.

·         To raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members.
·         To help injured service members aid and assist each other.
·         To provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members
As of December 2014 the organization had served over 61,000 veterans and nearly 9,000 families.

Services and programs include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder coping skills, family support, peer mentoring, economic empowerment through transition training and their Warriors To Work program.  As part of their engagement initiatives they offer adaptive sports events. And as indication of the program of the alumni more than 50% remain actively engaged. The program also works with veterans gaining their benefits for them from the VA and has successfully gotten program participants over $16 million in VA benefits.
