To provide support to our combat wounded veterans from iraq and afghanistan. We assist them financially for a specified period and if necessary, assist them on legal and financial matters, benefits, housing, and educational needs. We advocate and educate the community as to their issues. There is a lack of understanding between the civilian worlds and our wounded veterans. Plan of action: financial support - constant contact via lunches, monthly dinners, social events -- special programs, christmas, kids, mothers day.

The financial support program is designed to help our combat wounded veterans get through emergencies and other difficult financial times. Typically this occurs while veterans are waiting for the veterans administration and other related agencies to process their service connected disability claims. This support is generally provided in the form of a monthly stipend or grant of $200 per month for a specified period of time, which is usually 6 to 18 months. this program aims to create a social network to help veterans deal with depression and other psychological issues brought on by the stresses of combat, to foster brotherhood and to maintain a constant contact among the veterans themselves. It is mainly designed to bring combat wounded veterans and their families together. This is performed by maintaining a strong network via monthly dinners, weekly lunches, monthly finance classes, retreats and many other venues that keep them coming together and creating an extended family of combat wounded veterans.
