Memorial Day

Over 36,000 troops wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, more than half under the age of 24. If you want to donate any money you should consider Wounded Warrior Project. They are very active picking up where the DoD and VA leave off and are active lobbying for more federal support for wounded veterans.

Rizza Here--Do these numbers just include physically wounded or does it also account for PTSD/ or just plain losing it??

No, PTSD or other mental health issues related to military service are not included. That would add about 300,000 to the casualty numbers.
