claudefamilyDear Wounded Warriors,

I was injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq on February 20th, 2006. As a result I lost my right leg above the knee. During the majority of my hospital stay my wife and I were separated from our children and when we were finally brought back together our entire lives had changed. My children spent a lot of time in the hospital with me. I had to learn how to walk again and it was not an easy task. Even though I was able to spend a lot of time with my family, we spent a lot of time in the hospital or at home with my being too sore to walk at times. As a family we have survived a lot and thanks to your organization we were able to begin the New Year as a healthy happy family in the happiest place on earth: Disney World.

Thank you for providing such an amazing trip for our family. It was a dream to be able to take our children to Disney World. We were able to smile and laugh and play and forget how hard the last year had been on us. We sincerely thank you and all of the wonderful Americans who helped to make this dream come true. We will remember this trip for a lifetime.

Thank you for your caring and support. You are forever in our hearts.

Christopher Claude
Gunnery Sergeant, USMC (Retired)

Dear Wounded Warriors Family Support,


Now that we have been home for a couple days I wanted to write a proper thank you letter. I cannot express what this trip meant to my family. Since my husband, Jerry, returned from his last two tours in Iraq, after being injured both times, life has been different for us. Jerry has been on crutches for over 10 months now and still has no time frame for when he might be able to walk. His neck and back hurt everyday. Between doctor appointments, surgery and physical therapy, there isn't much family time for us. Jerry takes a lot of pain medications so he can't drive, he has a portable traction machine he uses on his neck daily and he has a bone stimulator machine he uses on his knee daily. He hasn't been able to really do much with the girls since his return and this has caused some depression to tackle on top of everything else.

Dear Wounded Warriors Family Support,

This photo is my entire family, all 7 of us, going down Splash Mountain at Disney World.  My family and I want to thank you for sending us to Disney World, we had an amazing time.  I wish I could express in words how much this trip meant to our family.   It wasn’t just Disney World itself that was so incredible, but our accommodations at Bahama Bay were a first class resort.  Vacationing with our 5 children usually means we are crammed into a one or two room motel, but Bahama Bay was a home away from home, a very nice home away from home.   We had all the amenities including 3 bedrooms, a fully furnished kitchen, patio, washer/dryer everything we needed.  My family and I have never vacationed in a place as nice as The Bahama Bay Resort.   In fact we decided to take a day off from Disney World and spent the entire day at Bahama Bay fishing, swimming, walking along the lake on the concrete nature trails and playing football with our kids in the huge open spaces surrounding our condominium.

Sir, I have been in contact with Carol about doing a Board Breaking  fund raiser. We only raised $212.00 for being out for about 5 hours. But hopefully, when I have the bowling tournament I should be able to bring in a good bit more.
