Wounded Times

Yesterday I started a new site Civvies Report "Extraordinary stories of veterans making a difference" along with their families. Before you freak out, Wounded Times is not changing. You will still read the same coverage you trust everyday from news reports across the country, videos and commentaries.

Over the years spending so much time with veterans has been heartbreaking at times but what has continued to inspire me to do more has been experiencing their extraordinary lives. What they do in their civvies, when their military uniforms have been put away is something few others get to see.

On January 18, 2014 there will be a fundraiser event for Bo Reichenbach, Navy SEAL and double amputee at the VFW Post 4287 in Orlando sponsored by Semper Fidelis America. Two great groups joining forces to pull off a repeat of what they did last year for Green Beret SFC Josh Burnette, also a double amputee.

How did this happen? A friend Mary Ingrassia read about Josh and decided to do something. She sprang into action and spent a year planning to do something fantastic for Josh. Now she is repeating it all over again for Bo along with the VFW and Semper Fidelis America.

Here are two videos I filmed at the VFW last year for Josh.

Here is another video on Bo from Jim Kinsey


2014 is already starting off to be a fantastic year for more videos and reports of veterans making a difference.
