Join us in our goal to End Veteran Suicide. Your support saves lives.

WWP INSIDER  |  APRIL 2026

DONATE NOW >> Dear Andy, Veteran suicide is a difficult topic to discuss, but it’s one we can’t ignore. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, 17 veterans die by suicide every day in the U.S. Yet many of our nation’s heroes are still reluctant to ask for help with wounds that go unseen — such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), survivor’s guilt, and depression. At Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), we understand that ending veteran suicide starts before a crisis. It requires building strong support networks and programs that improve mental health and quality of life. Your gift today provides lifesaving programs and services that help prevent veteran suicides and empower warriors to thrive for a lifetime. Warriors and their families never pay a penny for our support — because YOU make it possible. DONATE NOW >> With your help, WWP™ is changing the way our nation cares for veterans for generations to come. Together, we can turn hope into action, save more lives — and End Veteran Suicide. For those still struggling, Walter E. Piatt Lieutenant General, U.S. Army, Retired Chief Executive Officer, Wounded Warrior Project

WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT

Warrior Finds Brotherhood Back Home

As a combat medic in Iraq, U.S. Army veteran Jason Foster treated injured soldiers every day. Sniper fire, mortars, and blasts from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were a daily occurrence. One of those blasts injured Jason’s brain, but he was told there was no one to replace him. His unit needed him — so he had to tough it out. When Jason returned home, the effects of his brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) became overwhelming. He attempted to take his own life. “I was trying to deal with all this trauma, all at once, all by myself,” says Jason. At the urging of his wife, Jason finally sought the help he needed. He went to a WWP Project Odyssey®, an adventure-based mental health program, and discovered a camaraderie he didn’t know existed. That was when his journey of healing began.

More Than a Game: NFL Support for Wounded Warriors

Through the NFL’s long-standing partnership, WWP is able to provide programs like Project Odyssey®, an adventure-based mental health program where warriors come together to build resilience and camaraderie—and, at times, experience meaningful moments of reconnection. For wounded warrior Loaman “Nelly” Nelson that reconnection happened during his Project Odyssey experience, when he reunited with Joe Lloyd, his former U.S. Navy shipmate, and Joe’s son Devin, a Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker and a proud supporter of WWP. That moment reignited a bond forged in service and reminded both men they weren’t alone. Months later, Nelly’s journey continued through the NFL’s Salute to Service initiative. The NFL surprised Nelly with Super Bowl 60 tickets with Devin Lloyd presenting him with tickets at a Jaguars game in December — leading to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience firsthand how the NFL’s support helps warriors feel seen, valued, and connected.
