Transitioning out of active service is rarely easy, and Navy Wounded Warrior enrollees and their families often face additional challenges because of their illnesses or injuries.
Navy Wounded Warrior's support does not conclude at the door of a medical treatment facility. The program offers enrollees a host of services to help ease their reintegration into civilian life and ensure they have the tools to lead rich and fulfilling lives.

Happy 245th Birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps!
On Nov. 10, 1775, the Continental Congress established two battalions of Marines who would be “able to serve for and during the present war between Great Britain and the colonies, unless dismissed by order of Congress.”
After 244 years of partnership with the U.S. Navy, the bond between the two services has never been stronger—from fighting for our country’s independence during the American Revolution to raising the American flag at the Battle for Iwo Jima, “until every battle is won.”
The Navy is proud to have the U.S. Marines as a partner, and we wish the Devil Dogs a happy birthday. 🎂

I am a 100% disabled vet who is a resident of Spain. Am I allowed access to the Navy Exchange in Naples. I have a DOD ID card that I used in the US. Spain does not allow retired or disabled access in Rota. Thanks in advance.
Where can i find more information about the program? I was recently told there are 3 different Categories. Can you please break down the difference in the categories and what benefits or treatments are available at each level?
It was just over 15 years ago that I returned from deployment only to be diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. It was certainly a gut punch as we were also expecting our twin boys around the same time. I was able to remain active duty and my health remained stable until 2016. My motor skills, coordination, and a host of other disease related issues began to decline. I credit my wife - assuming the daunting role of caregiver - for the strength and persistence I needed to carry on.
I find myself transitioned out of the military, and each and every day realize how lucky I am to have her in my life. She has been there for me every "step" of the way, supporting me, and adapting to life as it comes. She didn't - we didn't - ask for this, but I couldn't ask for a more compassionate and patient caregiver.
Today I celebrate #MilitarySpouseAppreciationDay. Please take a moment to recognize yours, their sacrifices, and applaud their role in your life. They certainly deserve it.
Shout out to my wife Jill. She’s a nurse by trade but decided to be a stay at home mom to raise our two sons while i go on deployments. She kept our family intact through a prayerful life and by being an example to all of us. She kept me at bay when i was not doing well with my mental health. Thank you for your love, faith, support and dedication to our family. Forever grateful. #MilitarySpouseAppreciationDay

https://soundcloud.com/chrisgraysmusic/soldiers-song
This song was written in remembrance of everyone who wrote a letter to someone not knowing if they'd ever get it and hoping they wouldn't. The letter I'm talking about is the one you write just in case you don't make it back from patrol/movement/or mission. This song was written from the experiences and the people I met at the Warrior Games and all my friends who served in combat zones. I did not. This is the first military song I've ever written so I hope it is appreciated. I decided to stay up last night and finish it as it's fitting that it get posted on the 4th of July.
