| Summary |
The Wounded Warrior Project offers support and raises public awareness of service members who have experienced physical or mental health conditions associated with their service on or after September 11, 2001. In this report, the authors use WWP's 2013 survey of its members (alumni) to understand the physical, mental, and economic challenges that Wounded Warriors face. This information can be used to better understand the needs of WWP alumni and the ways that WWP can serve and support this constituency. -- Edited summary from book. |
