Isn't the VA supposed to do this?
From Monica Novotny at MSNBC I found this site for the Wounded Warrior Project. Here is their mission.
The Wounded Warrior Project is dedicated to serving the needs of a new generation of veterans and ensuring that the United States government and the American public live by our motto, "Putting Veterans first in America."Give them a visit.
To carry out this vital mission we:
*
Provide free assistance to veterans attempting to obtain benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies.
*
Represent veterans on state and federal legislative issues.
*
Work with business and government leaders to ensure veterans are given equal opportunity in hiring.
*
Provide outreach to modern veterans through programs and services that address their unique needs.
Founding Principles
The Wounded Warrior Project was founded on the principle that veterans are our nation's greatest citizens.
The 21st century American veteran is unique. Today's veteran is busier than ever before, the demands of work and home leave little time for the social and fraternal veteran's organizations so common and vital in the past.
The Wounded Warrior Project was founded to give a voice to a new generation of veteran's with unique issues and problems.
The Wounded Warrior Project fills a vital need, the need for a coordinated, united effort by a new generation of veterans to aid and assist each other and most importantly assist Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines to readjust to civilian life.
