Who are
we?
A
group of highly successful private business persons
have joined forces to initiate an effort that will
restore the lives and dignity of American soldiers
who have made major personal sacrifices in Iraq and
Afghanistan. These private business persons are
committed to setting the conditions by which
disabled veterans returning from these wars can lead
full, productive lives. Operation Grateful Nation (OGN)
believes that heroic sacrifices deserve
extraordinary support.
Background
Soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan
currently return to the United States to receive
immediate medical care and a string of short term
entertainment and travel opportunities. This
outpouring of support, although critical and
well-deserved, is short lived. As time passes and
assistance wanes, these young soldiers are often
left to their own resources to determine what they
want to do with their lives and how to get there.
Although governmental and non-government entities
exist to provide such help, these soldiers need
guidance and hands-on assistance to understand the
opportunities at their disposal, navigate the system
and take advantage of resources. They also need new
opportunities to build well-deserved new and
exciting futures. This is particularly the case for
amputees, paralysis victims and other disabled
veterans who will require extraordinary support to
build productive futures. |
