This was sent to me by Frank over at Secure Aspects. What a great deal for our wounded vets out there, and definitely get the word out on this. –Matt

Friends and Wounded Warrior supporters,
We need help in finding “Wounded Warriors” that have won the Purple Heart for wounds received in Iraq and Afghanistan that are able to go on our Wounded Warrior Cruise II.
Reed (our Director) and I have sent emails to the Commander of Walter Reed AMC and to other Commands with very little results. We are offering free cabins for those selected and their spouse (or significant other).
The Cruise sails from Fort Lauderdale, Florida on 28 November and returns on 5 December 2009.
Transportation to the ship and returning home is at the expense of the participants and in some cases we may be able to provide some assistance.
We have contacted a lot of large government contractors and asked for support but we have not had much of a response.
***We need the names before the end of this month*** so that we can reserve the cabins.
We still need corporate sponsors and we could also use some help in selling additional Raffle Tickets which are $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00 and we still have about 2000 remaining.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as 100% of the money our organization collects goes to the program and everyone in our organization is an unpaid volunteer.
Thanking you in advance and please pass the word throughout the workplace.

Andrew,
Thanks for your service and sacrifice. As for what you can do for other wounded vets, is to support groups like DAV and Veterans of Foreign Wars. These guys have been fighting for vets for a long time, and definitely worthy causes. Helping out at a VA center is cool too.
Now the T-Shirt thing is interesting, because you are not the only one that has asked for a T-Shirt or similar. We don’t have one yet, but that could be something I look at in the near future. Take care. -matt
