The mission of Wounded Warrior Project is to honor and empower wounded warriors.
About us
Every warrior has a next mission. We know that the transition to civilian life is a journey. And for every warrior, family member, and caregiver, that journey looks different. Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) began in 2003 as a small, grassroots effort providing simple care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of the first wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As their post-service needs evolved, so have our programs and services. Today, through our direct programs in mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care, along with our advocacy efforts, we improve the lives of millions of warriors and their families. This effort requires the passion and commitment of friends, supporters, and like-minded organizations that enable us to fulfill our mission. With their collaboration and support, we strive to ensure that when those who serve come home, they’re afforded every opportunity to be as successful as a civilian as they were in the military.

Thank you, Rush Enterprises, Inc! They wrapped up a sweepstakes to win the only 2025 Peterbilt Model 389X, while fundraising to help warriors and their families. We truly appreciate this amazing support for our nation's heroes!
It was an honor to present the keys to the last and only 2025 Peterbilt Model 389X to its winner, Jennifer Best, and her family during the American Trucking Associations' Management Conference and Exhibition in Nashville. "This is a unique and very special truck, and we knew we could do a lot of good for a lot of people with it. We are immensely proud that this sweepstakes generated $500,000 for Wounded Warrior Project and the life-changing programs and services they provide at no cost to America's injured veterans," said Chairman, CEO and President Rusty Rush. This one-of-a-kind truck will be delivered to Rush Truck Centers in Tulsa, where Jennifer and her husband, Shane, will take possession. Thanks again to everyone who joined us in this effort and made it possible. #winthelast389 Read more: https://bit.ly/3UcmTSQ Peterbilt Motors Company
