Wounded Warriors Resources
Air Compassion for Veterans
Air Compassion for Veterans flies 400-500 missions monthly in support of wounded warriors and their family members. The influx of wounded warriors during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom is, and has been, a strain on our military medical facilities. Thousands of these wounded men and women need to reach specialized medical facilities, especially as close as possible to their families. The military cannot always provide the needed transportation and other options are not always available.
Blind INC
BLIND, Incorporated is an adjustment to blindness training center. They teach the skills that blind people need to become independent and employable such as braille, home management, the use of the white cane, and computers with screen reading software, etc.
Canine Companions for Independence
Crane Co. and Canine Companions for Independence have teamed up to help qualified veterans find new hope through their service dog program. Through their Wounded Veterans Initiative, Canine Companions for Independence provides assistance dogs to veterans with physical disabilities resulting from military service. Dogs and vets are matched together, based on a number of factors and then they attend a two-week intensive training program where they learn how to work together. Crane Co. provides the funds for training.
Market Value Exclusion on Homestead Property of Disabled Veterans
This program, enacted in 2008, provides a market value exclusion for property tax purposes for the homestead property of an honorably discharged veteran who has a service-connected disability rating of 70 percent or higher, as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
Mt. Olivet Vacations for Wounded Warriors
Mount Olivet Rolling Acres is honoring wounded Servicemembers by reserving blocks of time at their McGregor cabins in northern Minnesota for their free use.
National Resource Directory
The website is a collaborative effort between the Departments of Defense (DoD), Veterans Affairs (VA) and Labor (DOL), and compiles federal, state, local and non-profit resources for Wounded Warriors, veterans, family members and caregivers in a single, searchable site.
