Warrior Support Team™

MarineParents.com, Inc.® believes that the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of ensuring that all men and women who have borne arms for our country are cared for and supported in an adequate manner upon their return to America and reintegration into society.

Recognizing the needs of recovering warriors are shifting, we expanded the scope of our longstanding outreach program, Purple Heart Hero Support™, to focus on the needs of all wounded, ill, and injured warriors and their family members, whether the wounds are visible or not.

With that in mind, our Warrior Support Team™ (WST) strives to provide resources and fellowship to wounded, ill, and injured troops and veterans, including those living with post-traumatic stress, as well as to provide resources and support to family members.

WST volunteers continue to serve meals, assist at events, provide resources to enhance the comfort of patients, and distribute educational materials at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, California. We are also exploring other ways to meet the needs of wounded, ill, and injured military and their families in different locations across the country.

The Warrior Support Team provide support and services to recovering service members and their family members in the following ways:

Patients and Outpatients:

At military hospitals on both coasts we serve meals 10 or more times each month and distribute free copies of The Wounded Warrior Handbook and books by other experts. We also provide other resources to enhance the healing and recovery of recovering service members and their family members. We help keep the Marine Corps Liaison Office supply closet well stocked for the day-to-day needs of outpatient families at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

Combat Recovery:

For active duty troops and veterans living with combat operational stress and/or post-traumatic stress, we can connect you with professional experts in the field, provide free reading materials, and facilitate the ability of veterans to connect with and help their fellow veterans.
