The Warrior’s Code
Sometimes I have the best job in the world.
We’ve talked a lot recently about how IVAW doesn’t seem to care about the troops. Individuals within IVAW certainly do, but despite their stated focus of helping them I see precious little being done.
Well, I met with this gentleman today. A Marine wounded horrifically in Fallujah I, he came home broken in body, but with a strength of purpose that other men don’t have. Watch these videos and let me know what you think. For my part, I was just glad I got an opportunity to meet him and the other people of Veterans of Valor.
I hope to be able to help them with some programs they have going on, including a massive undertaking down in San Antonio to take wounded guys out to Dave and Busters. Hell, after what he’s been through, who wouldn’t want to help him help the others who have been down there at the business end of the War on Terror?
You’re the fighter you’ve got the fire
The spirit of a warrior, the champion’s heart
You fight for your life because the fighter never quits
You make the most of the hand you’re dealt
Because the quitter never wins
No!

I was just introduced to this program today: http://www.taps.org/. Are you all familiar with it?
If only I had an ounce of the courage these soldiers have, I’d be a very brave man.
God bless our troops and their families.
True soldiers.
TAPS is legit, well respected and top-notch.
was amazing to work with this guy for the veterans of valor even at dave in busters san antonio, I loved the event. These men deserve this kind of treatment every month.
