Wounded Warrior Project Case Study
I really enjoyed reading your discussion board on the Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project helps a lot of our military vets when they come home after serving their country in the military.

The organization not only helps the wounded veterans when they return but also to the family. You bring up some very good concepts that are important to the organization such as resource dependency, which is important because most of their funds are through private donations. And also having a cohesive board of directors and choosing proper board members. I think another good concept that could be added to the

    The Buffalo Soldiers were African American soldiers who served in the United States Army after the Civil War. They were the first African Americans to serve in a peacetime army. They mostly served in the Western territories of the United States where they escorted settlers and worked to protect and help railroad crews and cattle herders.

These men were eager to sign up because the Army offered them a chance to better themselves both economically and socially. The soldiers were paid thirteen dollars a month, they were given a place to live, and were given food and clothing, so this was considered a golden opportunity for these men (Rand).…

    War is a terrible thing. It has confounding effects on everyone involved. Some people take it well, while others have such horrible experiences that it scares them for life and affects them even after the war when they return home. Ernest Hemingway's Soldier's Home and Tim O'Brien's How to Tell a True War Story are two great examples of literature that express' what any particular soldier can go through upon returning home. Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is a very common sickness that soldiers come down with after returning from war. There are a few differences and similarities between the two stories; the way each soldier handles himself after the war and the way people look at each of the soldiers when they return home.…

    The Iraq war has ended as of December 2011. Osama Bin Laden has been killed as of May 2011 and yet the war in Afghanistan is still ongoing. The jihadist terrorism threat that our nation once feared from Al-Qaeda has diminished. Many question the justification of the United State’s involvement in the Middle East over the past decade.
