The 10th anniversary of the U.S. Army's Wounded Warrior Program (AW2) was celebrated April 22. AW2, joining with the U.S. Army Warrior Transition Command (WTC), hosted a media and bloggers roundtable to commemorate the years of successful service.

The panel featured three wounded soldiers, each sharing their story on recover and successful transition into Continuation on Active Duty (COAD) through AW2.

Along with soldiers Staff Sgt. Julio Larrea, Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Redman, and Spc. Joshua Budd, Col. Johnny Davis, director of the Army Wounded Warrior Program, and Thomas Webb, acting commander of the Warrior Transition Command, spoke about the AW2's role –advocating for wounded soldiers and their families.

"What makes AW2 unique is that we support the most severely wounded, and that our support is completely personalized," said Col. Johnny Davis. "Each soldier is assigned an AW2 advocate as soon as they're found eligible, and our AW2 Advocates work with each soldier and family to resolve whatever challenges they're facing, at whatever point of their recovery and transition."
