Support for veterans year-round The Wounded Warrior Project is reminding veterans that support is available year-round. The nonprofit works to prevent suicide and homelessness among veterans and helps those with post-traumatic stress disorder. "I think the transition from military service to the civilian world is a very confusing time," said Lindsey Gray of the Wounded Warrior Project. She said finding a community where veterans feel supported can make a difference. The organization offers events and opportunities for veterans to connect each month. "I was inspired to support our military and veteran community because of my friends and family who have served," Gray said. "I was not in the military but saw many of the challenges they faced when they came home or while they were still serving." To volunteer or get involved, visit the Wounded Warrior Project website .
