WHAT'S NEW AT WWP

Living with PTSD: How One Veteran Couple Rebuilt Their Relationship and Found Healing Together

Although Jackie and Randy Price both proudly served in the United States Navy, their love story didn’t begin on a ship. Instead, their paths crossed at a Virginia church where Randy was working after his military service. At the time, Jackie was still on active duty but looking for ways to serve outside of her uniform.

Hiking Toward Healing, One Ruck at a Time

Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, one foot in front of the other, repeat for mile after mile. Rucking started as a training exercise for Melvin when he served in the Army. These days, rucking — hiking or marching with a weighted vest or backpack — has become far more than a march to benefit his physical health. And on the highway to a healthier life, he’s not alone.

Legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen: The First African American Military Pilots

As the role of Black soldiers grew, so did their demand for equal training and respect. During World War II, many African American service members wanted to join the Army Air Corps and learn to fly. Their push for change helped create a new chapter in history: the Tuskegee Airmen — the first African American military pilots and their support crews.

“Wounded Warrior Project doesn’t just help with one aspect of a Warrior’s life; it’s very well rounded. It’s not just handing out money. They are a hand up, not a handout.”
