Wounded Warrior Project

The Wounded Warrior Project is a great way for the community to give back to the soldiers who sacrifice their lives for us everyday. We don't often think about what they do for us. We get comfortable watching our princess fairytale movies, or playing a football game every Friday night, or even just being lazy and lounging around the house day in and day out. Take, for example, me. everyday after school, I have something I have to do. I go to band practice, go to choir practice, or go to work. And do you think that with my 'busy' life i stop and think for one minute that there are wonderful men and women that are sacrificing  their lives for me just so i can do all those things? Nope, I sure don't, and I am ashamed to admit that. Another thing it does is let us do something to help people, and show a kind of citizenship. Citizenship can mean a lot of different things, but one thing it means to me is people working together toward one common goal. And if were all working together toward one goal, then lets make it a good one! The Wounded Warrior Project also helps us understand what they go through while protecting us. If we get to see, and hear the story of a person who was wounded fighting for our country, I think that will help us understand what is going on and how serious it is. Then maybe more people would remember to mention the soldiers in their prayers, or send good thoughts their way, or even send a care package. Now that would be awesome! I really hope we get to do a Project! It wont only help us as students, but as a community as well!
