According to Remind.org 1.65 million U.S. service members have been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq since 9/11. More than 35,000 service members have been physically wounded. It is estimated that more than 320,000 have sustained traumatic brain injuries and more than 300,000 have psychological wounds.

In honor of Memorial Day (5/25) this year, the organization is also asking that you consider a donation of $5.25 or more to support our troops. The 1.65 million dollar-goal symbolizes 1 dollar for every soldier who has served since 9/11.
REMIND.org is a public education movement of the Bob Woodruff Foundation that informs Americans about the needs of injured service members, veterans and their families as they reintegrate into their communities.
