Wounded Warrior Project labeled a Scam

"Wounded Warriors Project called legal scam as scandalous news spreads"

The title of this blog post on the surface sounds like a scandal in the making, until you read the article and research the organization behind it. It is in fact very defamatory and bias.

Taken directly from their website:

"Guns Save Life is a regional civil rights organization that works
to educate the public about the benefits of firearm ownership.

The group had its origins as a county grassroots committee of the
Illinois State Rifle Association in about 1995, initially meeting
in Rantoul, and later holding its monthly meetings in the Jolly
Roger restaurant in Urbana, IL.

GSL was later incorporated as its own non-profit corporation and
today represent gun owners in Illinois, Indiana and beyond in
proactive grassroots activism promoting and defending firearm
rights and the civil right of self-defense."

However, the only Civil Right they defend is their version of the Second Amendment.
From the article, it seems the GSL took offense when the Wounded Warrior Project didn't immediately support their organization. They are all about guns and the Bible. You know the type, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."

The Wound Warrior Project refused to allow the GSL to use their logo or to have their brand connected with them, so they threw verbal rocks at the salaries the WWP's officers and their fund raising events.
Just reading headlines can be very dangerous practice. It's easy to be mislead. But if you take the time to read and research with the first question being, "Who benefits?" you learn the truth about the who, what, where, and more importantly the why.







 

Horses and Heroes combines the concepts a talk show with that of a documentary, by combining the spontaneity of a talk show with the scripted informational aspects of a documentary. It will utilize both interviews and practical demonstrations of horse therapy to give the audience a full understanding of how and why working with the horses help veterans heal. Although Equine Therapy will be the stage, the primary focus will be on the eight veterans as they sharing what they experienced while they served our country and how those events had a lasting effect on their lives as well as on those who love them.

One of the premier programs that Paul was instrumental in developing is the Super Groms.

The Surf Warrior Program was developed in 2011 by the United States Surfing Federation in partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project™ (WWP). The program began in Jacksonville Beach, Florida with the help of the Florida Surfing Association who supplied the equipment and instructors. The Wounded Warrior Project selects 8 vets who get to learn to surf during a six-week program while developing an ever-lasting “surf family.” WWP’s purpose is to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of injured service members; to help injured servicemen and women aid and assist each other; and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs.

In 2012 the program grew to two more regions on the east coast; Navarre Beach, Florida and Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Surf Warrior Program also held their first championship at the East Coast Surfing Championships in Virginia Beach. 3 Surf Warriors were selected from each city and given the chance to become the ultimate Surf Warrior!

The original goal of the Surf Warrior program was to change the vet’s lives through the power of the ocean. The program proved to do just that has a group who participated in the Surf Warrior program for the past two years out of Jacksonville Beach, now hold their own “surfing sessions” every Saturday morning.
