THESE ARE LETTERS WRITTEN TO US FROM OUR WOUNDED WARRIORS
WORDS FROM OUR HERO'S
Thank you for all you do for the wounded. I was in Iraq when the war kicked off and was injured 3 months later. The
military medically retired me due to the injury. (med boarded me) The transition was scary, and made me very unsure
of my families future. Thank your husband for me, for helping with the transition (wish I had something like that) there
are wounds that run deeper than the visible ones and I wish people would understand that. We not only get injured
physically but usually due to the injury it costs us our families, friends, an sometimes our lives, all because we
defended our country and people don't understand our "new" attitude or "thought process", or why we don't sleep
anymore, or trust anyone, or have nightmares, or wake up sweating on the rare occasion we do sleep for 2 or 3
hours.People, especially family members need to understand these things and that we might not always want to talk
about what went on over there. I am one of the lucky ones, my wife and kids are working it out with me, it's been 3
years since then, and there is still alot ahead of us, but they are here and understanding, So thank you, and thank your
husband, because helping even 1 wounded soldier in transition, or his/her family will make it worth it...
Sincerely,
Steve- aka:rock

I can appreciate what he does, because you are sooooo right, we come home injured and are treated as useless,
garbage by our units rear detachment (after 8 years in the army) because we are no longer of use to them. I spent a
year on staff duty trying to make my doctor appointments and rehab appointments, but there was always something
"more important" for me to do like, SITTING IN AN OFFICE ANSWERING PHONES WHILE EVERYONE WENT TO
LUNCH...no big deal just call and re-schedule your appointment. I was on crutches for almost a year and a half and the
doctor and blanchfield had the nerve to ask me "how much weight you think you could carry in a ruck sack" so he could
put it on my profile. That was only the beginning of the nightmare! God speed and if there is anything I can do to help
let me know, please ...again thank your husband for me, It means alot to know some people wont have to go through
the HUMILIATION (and thats putting it nicely) Me and my family went through.

Whether you are active duty, a spouse, a friend, family, or veteran. This page is good for all. Those who want to help or
need help. To you all, it isn't an easy life to be affected by the war. Some are lucky in this country, they haven't had the
pain of knowing anyone who has made that sacrifice. They go day by day not even remembering there is a war going
on. If you are in the group above you know... How it is to turn on the TV and hold your breath, jumping when the phone
rings, or the doorbell. Running to the mail box or computer to see if you have been blessed with mail. As a veteran to
know how it was and know how the family's feel, and relate to the soldiers in the far off lands, who won't be in beds, or
hot food, but do it with out complaining, because it is what needs to be done. If you just tried to think about on your next
car ride as a day as a soldier. Look at it like this. The car that is on the side of the road, is it going to blow up as i pass
it. Is that a tire or an IED,in the ditch, is that a person or an IED on that bridge, that deer someone hit last night, is it
going to end my life. Things us at home don't think twice about, but a soldier every minute of everyday is thinking. To
live in America and hated by few is hard but to be in IRAQ and hated by many is far worse. Well sorry for my two cents,
but as long as I have breath I will do things honor god, and support the troops.
Thank you for you work
Ellen
