About us
Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) began in 2003 as a grassroots effort to provide care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than two decades later, Wounded Warrior Project is the nation's leading veteran service organization, focused on the total well-being of post-9/11 wounded, ill, or injured veterans. Keeping the promise to care for our nation’s veterans requires the expertise and energy of a diverse and committed team. We build and lead programs that help warriors find purpose and thrive. We provide essential lifelines to families and caregivers. We advocate tirelessly with policymakers. We raise awareness to celebrate the service and honor the sacrifice of all veterans. The support of generous donors and corporate partners allows us to provide programs at no cost to warriors and their families. Talented WWP teammates across the country work together to ensure that no warrior is left behind. Together, we're changing the way our nation cares for veterans for generations to come.

Service men and women have been doing hard things to keep this country free for almost 250 years. Doing hard things can look vastly different to everyone: learning how to navigate life after being in the service, staying physically active, managing mental health, getting personal finances in order, or asking for help. Warriors Doing Hard Things, presented by Mojo Pouches, takes a deeper look into the lives of warriors who meet life’s hardest moments with resilience, perseverance, and unwavering resolve.
