May is Support the Warrior Month. This event is a very visible way for our community to support our nation’s recovering wounded, ill, and injured service members and their families!
Wounded Warrior riders and their families who have been helped by Serve Our Willing Warriors are helping to plan this event and will be participating. They are very excited to be able to give back to the SOWW community supporters who have helped them so much. Sponsorships for these warriors and for the event are available. This is an opportunity to not only support the warriors, but to meet these outstanding individuals and thank them personally.
Serve Our Willing Warriors (SOWW) has been helping our nation’s recovering service members and their families for 12 years through outreach initiatives at the National Military Medical Center at Walter Reed and Fort Belvoir Hospital and most significantly through our flagship program at the Warrior Retreat at Bull Run in Haymarket, VA.
