Founding Principles

The Wounded Warrior Project was founded on the principle that veterans are our nation's greatest citizens.

The 21st century American veteran is unique. Today's veteran is busier than ever before, the demands of work and home leave little time for the social and fraternal veteran's organizations so common and vital in the past.

The Wounded Warrior Project was founded to give a voice to a new generation of veteran's with unique issues and problems.
The Wounded Warrior Project fills a vital need, the need for a coordinated, united effort by a new generation of veterans to aid and assist each other and most importantly assist Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines to readjust to civilian life.

DHR supports the
Disabled American Veterans

Treaties are signed and the battles of nations end, but the personal battles of those disabled in war only begin when the guns fall silent. These men and women must struggle to regain health, reshape lives shattered by disability, learn new trades or professions, and rejoin the civilian world. At each step, they need help to help themselves. For three quarters of a century now, that aid has come from the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), a nonprofit organization of more than one million veterans disabled during time of war or armed conflict.

Formed in 1920 and chartered by Congress in 1932, the million-member DAV is the official voice of America's service-connected disabled veterans -- a strong, insistent voice that represents all of America's 2.1 million disabled veterans, their families and survivors. Its nationwide network of services -- free of charge to all veterans and members of their families -- is totally supported by membership dues and contributions from the American public. Not a government agency, the DAV's national organization receives no government funds

"Putting Veterans first in America."

Ford
As Ford's history in racing enters its second century, the picture of Ford Racing’s future has sharpened into an image of expanding capabilities and an ever-deepening commitment to race fans and to all Ford consumers. The company's mission statement expresses it best: “Racing must ultimately help improve our products, people and processes in support of corporate customer satisfaction goals.” Ford is Grand American's official vehicle and pace car, and a Ford Mustang Cobra R and Ford Focus SVT will serve as the pace cars for all of the Rolex Series and Grand-Am Cup races during the 2003 season.
