involved in the Wounded Warrior Project.
The Wounded Warrior Project is an organization
dedicated to the success and well-being of
wounded service members. The Wounded Warrior
Project concentrates on healing the mind and body
and empowering members through economic
means. The organization offers programs such as the
Combat Stress Recovery Program, adaptive sports
events, and warriors to work.
3. In November of 2013, the Wounded Warrior
Project partnered with iFLY to give veterans
a chance to experience indoor skydiving.
One veteran who participated in the
program, Juan Castellanos, had served two
tours in Iraq but was homeless and living
with his family in a hotel. As Mr. Castellanos
struggled to adjust to society, this program
allowed him time to let go and forget
about worries. For most of the veterans who
participated, skydiving is something they
never thought they could achieve due to
various injuries sustained in war.
