Where do the backpacks go?
The Wounded Warrior Project has delivered more than 6,000 “Wounded Warrior” backpacks and transitional care packs to service men and women at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Brooke Army Medical Center, Camp Lejeune, Landstuhl Army Hospital and the joint VA/DOD Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia. These packs contain necessities and comfort items such as clothes, phone calling cards, personal CD players and magazines. The backpacks provide injured service men and women with items most needed and requested as they prepare for a long-term rehabilitative stay.
