Part 3 - Line 1
TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL ASSISTANCE TO OUR MILITARY WHO HAVE BEEN WOUNDED WHILE SERVING IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN THROUGH SEVERAL RELEVANT AND UNDUPLICATED PROGRAMS ALONG WITH SPECIALIZED EVENTS DESIGNED FOR OIF/OEF COMBAT-WOUNDED SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT ADDRESS RELATIONSHIP BUILDING, MENTORING, REINTEGRATION AND LOOKING FORWARD.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
OPERATION WARRIOR CALL:CONTINUING COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN "BATTLE BUDDIES" REDEPLOYED HOME MAY BE ESSENTIAL TO TRANSITION OUT OF THE STRESS ENDURED DOWNRANGE. THE COMFORT OF KNOWING THAT A TRUSTED FRIEND WHO HAS ALSO BEEN "OUTSIDE THE WIRE" IS A PHONE CALL AWAY COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD DECISION AND A BAD DECISION ON ANY GIVEN DAY. HOWEVER, THE CALL NEEDS TO BE PLACED AND THE PHONE NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED. OPERATION WARRIOR CALL IS AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN THAT BECKONS OUR BRAVE WARRIORS TO REACH OUT TO ONE ANOTHER IN HOPES THAT RECONNECTING WILL FACILITATE HONEST DIALOGUE, CREATE A DESIRE TO STAY IN CONTACT AND FOR SOME WARRIORS HELP DEFINE A VIABLE PATHWAY FORWARD. THREE "PILLARS" CONSTITUTE THE WARRIOR PLEDGE:1. MAKE THE CALL: THE BEST ADVOCATE FOR A WARRIOR IS ANOTHER WARRIOR AND LESSONS LEARNED ARE VALUABLE ASSETS.2. ANSWER THE CALL: THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO CONTINUE LOOKING OUT FOR THE WARRIORS ON YOUR LEFT AND RIGHT.3. BE HONEST: SITUATIONAL AWARENESS CAN LEAD TO A POSITIVE COURSE OF ACTION. OPERATION WARRIOR CALL ALSO CALLS ON AMERICAN CITIZENS TO MAKE THEIR OWN "CIVILIAN PLEDGE" TO CREATE AWARENESS OF THE INITIATIVE AMONG SERVICE MEMBERS, ACTIVE AND RETIRED, WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY.
OPERATION REINTEGRATION:BEYOND OUR LARGER PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES, THE FOUNDATION INTERACTS ON A DAILY BASIS WITH INJURED SERVICE MEMBERS. TIME SPENT MEETING WARRIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES, BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND GAINING TRUST SO AS TO FACILITATE MEANINGFUL FUTURE ASSISTANCE DURING THE MANY STAGES OF RECOVERY HAS ENABLED US TO DEVELOP A NETWORK WITHIN THE WARRIOR CARE LANDSCAPE. OPERATION REINTEGRATION SERVES AS A CATCH-ALL FOR THESE DAILY ACTIVITIES WITH IN-PATIENTS, OUT-PATIENTS, AND THOSE WHO HAVE RETURNED HOME AND THEIR FAMILIES. BECAUSE EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS VARYING NEEDS, THE FOUNDATION ASSISTS WITH EVERYDAY SITUATIONS SUCH AS GROCERY SHOPPING AND BUYING GYM CLOTHES FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY THAT FIT OVER THEIR PROSTHETICS. THE FOUNDATION'S GOAL IS TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THE NEEDS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THEM.
24/7 BATTLE BUDDIES:24/7 BATTLE BUDDIES IS A PROGRAM THAT MATCHES CANINES TO WOUNDED MILITARY VETERANS WHO HAVE SERVED IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. EACH 24/7 BATTLE BUDDY IS CAREFULLY SELECTED FOR THEIR PARTNER. THE TRAINING IS THEN SPECIFIC TO THE WARRIOR'S NEEDS AND INTENDED TO ASSIST IN SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATING EVERYDAY LIFE.
