Warrior Weekend

The Mission:    

       Helping Wounded Troops      

  Warrior Weekend provides weekends of rest and relaxation for soldiers and marines who have been wounded in combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan.  They are undergoing recovery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC..  The missions are funded by both individuals and organizations and are no cost to the soldiers and marines who participate. 

  Missions focus on small groups of 8-10 and allow participants to enjoy themselves at various destination cities.  The mission provides activities, but also allows each participant the freedom to do their own thing.  

  The mission was started by Steve Udovich, a retired Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel and decorated Iraq combat veteran.  He paid a visit to Walter Reed in December of 2006 and started this mission the following month.
