Almost 50% of military personnel experience one or more injuries each year, resulting in 2 million medical interventions. What’s more, in recent years, the rate of incident injuries in the Army has been 1,368 injuries per 1,000 people. Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of soldiers experience invisible military wounds, such as major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and traumatic brain injury. Fortunately, charities nationwide are fighting to connect soldiers with the critical medical, financial, and social resources they need to overcome their medical challenges. So we had to ask: What are the best charities for wounded soldiers? 👇 https://lnkd.in/gb4iyKpk Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Wounded Warrior Project, Navy SEAL Foundation, Semper Fi & America's Fund, OPERATION FIRST RESPONSE, Fisher House Foundation, Yellow Ribbon Fund, Operation Second Chance, Homes For Our Troops #charitysupport #army #woundedsoldiers #military #militarysupport

🌟 Honoring the Unseen Heroes: The Legacy of Military Children 🌟 These young heroes grow up in a world that's constantly changing, with challenges that many of us can only imagine. Yet, their strength, adaptability, and sense of duty are nothing short of inspiring. Research and anecdotes alike tell us that children of military personnel are significantly more likely to follow in their parents' footsteps and serve their country. This isn't merely a coincidence; it's the result of a unique upbringing that instills values such as loyalty, honor, and a profound sense of service from a very young age. Military children witness firsthand the sacrifices made for national security and are imbued with a deep understanding of what it means to commit to a cause greater than oneself. By supporting USA Cares, you can help keep these military-connected children safe remain safe and with their families. Join us in changes lives by donating today.

GOLD BEACH Gold Beach is 1st of 2, of D-Day beaches to be led by the British and was situated between Port-en-Bessin and Ver-sur-Mer the central most area of the D-Day invasion. The objectives of Gold were to secure a beachhead, capture Arromanches to link with American troops at Omaha and to capture Bayeux to link up with Canadian troops from Juno. Similar to Omaha, Gold beach was split into 2 components, an ariel and naval bombardment to clear German defences and an Infantry landing to capture the beach. In contrast to Omaha, the bombardments were highly effective in wiping out most of the German defences. The navel bombardments from HMS Ajax and HMS Argonaut proved to be extremely effectively providing pinpoint accuracy to take out 3 of the 4 artillery emplacements. Infantry landing commenced nearly an hour after the American landings due to different tides. Rough seas made it tricky for Infantry landing craft, resulting in 20 of them being sunk or damaged by mines, however this did not slow British troops much as within an hour they had secured beach exits to push further inland and by days end they had completed their objective.

Join the #Day4Defenders initiative and come to work on October 1st to support our defenders! The goal of the initiative is to raise additional funds for the Defense Forces of Ukraine. 📌 How does it work? On October 1st, Defender of Ukraine Day, invite your employees to come to work, and donate all the earned money to the Defense Forces of Ukraine. If October 1st is a working day in your company, the "1991" and "Where Hope Lives" funds invite you to donate your daily revenue/gross profit (depending on your capabilities) to the military. This is the best way to say a warm "thank you" to our soldiers. The organizers will use the raised funds to purchase off-road vehicles for the military. All the details of the initiative are available on the fund's page. 12 companies have already joined #Day4Defenders - you can easily become the next one! 📌 How to get your company involved?

Long story short. Once, Anastasiia Slipets and I decided to raffle books for donations to support Ukrainian Armed Forces. After a couple of success cases we realized that systemic approach is a key for maximizing impact. And voila, [do]nation book appeared — a project where we talk about books and fundraise for the military. Then Dmytro Sitalo joined us with a ton of ideas and an inexhaustible energy supply. And here we are! During the existence of the project, we've raised about UAH 200,000. Our plans for the future are more than ambitious. For me personally, [do]nation book is also about the power of ideas that unite. "Nations are made of people who read the same books" If you are intersting in joining us, please let me know. We will definitely find ways for collaboration🚀
