About 1.5 million other veterans, meanwhile, are considered at-risk of homelessness due to poverty, lack of support networks, and dismal living conditions in overcrowded or substandard housing.

For as long as there have been wars, there have been warriors who survive — and yet become as much casualties of battle as those who died (Blair). Founded in 2003 in Roanoke, Virginia, by a group of veterans and friends the Wounded Warrior Project took action to help the injured service men and women of this generation. The mission of the WWP is to honor and empower wounded warriors who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001. The vision of the project is to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history. The project has three purposes: to raise awareness and enlist the

Walter Camp founded American football in 1869. He is known as the “Father of American Football." Camp developed rule changes that cast the foundation of modern American Football. The sport started to rise and many people wanted to play or watch football. Steroids and concussions where main problems that are associated with football. Anabolic Steroids retain protein like the hormone testosterone to help build muscle. For football players, steroids are tempting because of the fast results in gaining weight and muscle in short amounts of time.

Throughout WWII, people of different countries were interned and imprisoned in camps all over the world. Japanese-Americans on the West Coast were taken out of their homes and placed in internment camps like Manzanar to detain them from communicating with Japan. Families were torn apart in these camps, leaving them scattered across the United States. The Japanese-Americans were deprived of the claim of habeas corpus, and soon they attempted to return to the life that they lived before the war. Even after Camp Manzanar was closed and World War II ended, Japanese-American families on the West Coast still experienced prejudice and unfairness in their new lives.

The Wounded Warrior Project founded in 2003, in Roanoke, Virginia by John Melia, to help warriors make a successful and beneficial transition to life after their injuries. This program serves all veterans with any mental or physical illness, injuries, and/or wounds before and on 11 September 2001. The Wounded Warrior Project has many different programs for the wounded warriors and their families. They also have grants that can help with all organizations who seek to help out any wounded warrior.

In 1848, shopkeeper Henry Angel started a trading post to meet the needs of gold miners who had flocked to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada during the California Gold Rush. Thus Angels Camp was named, resting in the heart of Calaveras County, and although there’s no longer much gold here, the destination is rich many other ways.

It is time to get the word out about the Smiling Soldier Project. We will depend on county’s involvement for the promotion of this project. We will request free advertising for our local radio stations and encourage the use of social networking sites to send the word out. Pounding the pavement looking for donations from local businesses will be crucial. We will depend on the church to assist in announcing our needs for donations, volunteers, and provided space for packaging. It is time to fetch your family, friends, classmates, teammates, neighbors, and church community to become

While the service trip took place in the Northern US, there were pre-determined requirements that had to be met before we could embark, one of which was a minimum fundraised amount of $500. The money that was raised by this program went towards scholarships for other Kentucky residents to attend YMCA Conferences, where they have the chance to learn about democracy, kinship, and our community. I count this as community service because the YMCA changed my life by transforming an academic student into a servant leader. Providing the chance for someone else to be shaped into one of tomorrow's leaders is doing a service to my community. The third tier of my service goes towards the United States of America. An example of my service to America has already been noted in my ten day service trip to northern states where I helped shelve books with my peers and kinfolk who had fallen into unfortunate circumstances as well as re-vitalise YMCA Camp Y-Owasco through mulching over 5 miles of trails; however, a lesser noted service that many young adults seek is education. I firmly believe that the education of forthcoming generations is one of the greatest services that can be done for our

I want to work at camp because I would like to give back. I have attended MFU camp for the past 11 years and I want to give back to MFU and the experience that I had during my years at camp. I would like to make an impact on kids’ lives and help create amazing memories, just like how previous councilors have done for me. I want to help change kids’ lives and give them a week that they will not forget.

Waking up 6:30 in the morning isn't common for me but July 28th was the day I was driving up to Athens for Dawg Camp. I was waiting for this day since I was fortunate to receive a scholarship to go to Dawg Camp Discovery thanks to the UGA Parents Leadership Council. Every UGA event I attended, convinced me that Dawg Camp was an once in a lifetime opportunity. I was beyond ecstatic when I found out I was one of the recipient of the reward. Once arriving at UGA, I walked into Ramsey startled by the excitement coming from the basketball court. All of the camp counselors were beyond theatric when all of the campers came in one by one. As the day went on, I began to connect with my group, Silver 4, more and more. We were able to talk about our

The Salvation Army Laredo Texas Corps, is a place of humble means that has been ravished by the impact of poverty. However, in the midst such disparity, there lives and exist soldiers that are sold out for Christ and The Salvation Army. Recently, the soldiers passions have been reinvigorated to love, serve, and make Salvation their number one priority. The main focus of the corps has been to enhance and develop programs, in order to, allow soldiers passions to flourish; by expanding the Kingdom and the work of The Salvation Army here in Laredo.

At Dallas Valley, sometimes there are long days with a lot of work. As an LIT, I put in hundreds of volunteer hours. However, this truly pales in comparison to the work that my program directors did each week. They had late nights, early mornings and unpredictable days. Even still, their workload did not come close to those who worked in the background like the administrators, custodians and maintenance. After only seeing a glimpse of their work, made me appreciate all they do for the camp as a whole. Without them, the camp would not run smoothly or at all. There is one man who works harder, and ages faster, than those mentioned above - Chris Theissen. Chris has to be a father to not only his four children, but to the hundreds of staff who

Since 2001, Strength for Service, a non-profit that publishes and provides spiritual and inspirational literature, distributed more than 480,000 daily devotionals to servicemen and women both at home and abroad. It is an honor for GCFA and United Methodist Men to help Strength for Services as they guide young servicemen through God’s journey. Today we gladly present a check for $62,000 to

In spring of 2016, my youth group and I began planning a trip to a neighboring city. This wasn’t just any trip however, we were going on a mission. Each of us there were bound and determined to

Camp Happy Valley is a summer day camp which is located in London, Ontario. It formed in 1965, and as a not-for-profit organization. Camp Happy Valley engages in create a positive and safe atmosphere for children to increase their experience. Sue Johnson is the director of this camp and work for hiring the super staff team. Adam Cameron is the programmer for Happy Valley. The process of hiring and training staff was low efficiency, and the camp’s morale was depressed. Camp Happy Valley needs to make some decisions as soon as possible to improve this situation.
