Wounded Warriors In Action assist wounded veterans with their healing process

The Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation (WWIA) is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. WWIA has been conducting operations in support of our Nation’s combat wounded heroes since August of 2007.

Mission

The WWIA aids in healing the hearts and minds of our Nation’s combat wounded heroes (Purple Heart recipients) from OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM and ENDURING FREEDOM. We accomplish this by providing to wounded veterans world-class outdoor sporting activities, chiefly consisting of participation in hunting and fishing retreats all across America.

Situation

The country has been at war for over 5 years.
As of 01 Oct 09, the combined number of wounded warriors from OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM and OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM was 35,653. See U.S. Casualty Report
These men and women are our nation’s most treasured asset.
Americans want to help, most are unsure how.
Hunting and fishing provide excellent niche opportunities to assist our wounded veterans in recovering – mentally, physically and spiritually from their war experiences.

The WWIA Goals

Increase Self-Reliance
Bolster Self-Confidence
Enjoy the Great Outdoors
Promote Spiritual Healing and Wellness
Instill a Sense of Belonging
