As the U.S. marks 20 years since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the rapidly changing situation in Afghanistan, many Veterans are experiencing a wide variety of emotions. These emotions include concern, confusion, anger, frustration, and sadness, just to name a few. Wounded Warrior Project encourages Veterans to seek out any resources or help they may need.
Who Is Eligible?
Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) serves post-9/11 wounded warriors, their caregivers, and their families. Warriors never pay a penny for programs — because they paid their dues on the battlefield.
Wounded Warrior Project’s Resource Center welcomes Warriors and their family members.
WWP Resource Center
Warriors and family members registering with Wounded Warrior Project often communicate with the Resource Center first. The team welcomes warriors and their families into WWP and serves as a connection point at every step along their individual journeys.
As their needs evolve, the Resource Center continues to listen, identify next steps, and connect them with WWP programs, as well as resources in their community.
Call 888.WWP.ALUM (888.997.2586) or visit https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org to learn more.

Please do not wait to connect with loved ones, colleagues, friends, or fellow Veterans
Being there for one another is critically important, and people may never know who is struggling and needs a helping hand or friend to talk with. One of the most remarkable things about the Veteran community is the sense of camaraderie forged in the fires of shared experiences in the service of this nation. That community is strong and resilient and is needed more than ever right now.
