MISSION
The mission of "Wounded Heroes of Texas, Inc" is to
honor, empower, and to express our gratitude to our
wounded soldiers and their families, .
PURPOSE
To raise public awareness and to enlist the public’s aid for
the needs of injured service members, to help injured
servicemen and women provide aid and assistance to each
other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services
to meet their needs.
HISTORY
Wounded Heroes of Texas, Inc began when several veterans,
bikers, and friends, moved by stories of many of our local
wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and
Iraq, recognized the needs for these soldiers and took
action to help these and other heroes, in need. What started
as a program to provide comfort items to wounded service
members will grow into a complete rehabilitative effort to
assist local heroes as they recover and transition back to
civilian life.
Thousands of
wounded heroes and caregivers receive support each year
through organizations such as these programs, designed to
nurture the mind and body, and encourage economic
empowerment.
Wounded Heroes of Texas, Inc® is a nonprofit, nonpartisan
organization.
