In Our Own Words

Today I want to share with you, our supporters, the kind words form wounded warriors who have been helped by your generosity. For those of us who work out in the field, visit military hospitals, answer phones at our headquarters or travel the country every day, we hear stories how the Coalition has helped change lives for the better. Today it is your turn to hear how the Coalition is assisting families along the road to recovery:

"I can't even put {what the Coalition means to me} into words. I didn't even know stuff like that existed. The programs they have are awesome for new injured troops, spouses and their children. And that stuff is very helpful. They are like family to us. Everybody we have met through the Coalition is family and it's nice to know that people do care. I will thank you a million times over. We have what we have because of the Coalition. We are on track now and everything is good to go. And it's because of you. So thank you." - Desiree Myers, wife of Patrick Myers who lost both legs in Iraq

"I hope that the Coalition is around for future troops because this is an organization that we definitely need. We need to support the Coalition. The Coalition is a great organization and they ARE for the troops. Thank you because you have brightened a lot of our futures. You have given the soldiers and their spouses a lot of hope. The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes is our guardian angel." - Denise Jones, whose husband was paralyzed in Iraq

"We didn't put up a Christmas tree this year because we didn't want our children to think they would get presents. Now that we got this $500 gift card from the Coalition, we can give our kids a Christmas." - Mindy Ross, wife of wounded Airman

We feel privileged to be able to help so many troops and privileged that you are making that possible. Thank you.

- Jorge DeLeon, US Army (Ret.), Assistant Director of Family Support Network for CSAH
