Our injured veterans need more support than that which our government provides, the Wounded Warrior Project is an excellent foundation that helps to take care of their physical and mental wounds. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// From Ravi: Many people don't know that during my junior and senior years of high school, I was preparing to enlist in the Navy in their Nuclear Engineering division and apply to join the SEAL Teams. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I had multiple trips to the recruiters office, they visited me at Bush, and we all had a sit down meeting with my parents in my mom's living room. I wanted to serve this world and my country. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// At the same time, I had a nearly full-ride scholarship to the University of Washington with desires to study engineering and pursue a path of entrepreneurship. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Over the course of two months between my acceptance at UW and the deadline for me to say whether or not I was going to attend in the fall, I heard the perspective and advice from dozens of friends, family, advisors, and teachers. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// On the final night, I sat alone in my room, weighing all of the advice and options, plotting the different trajectories for my life's path. With about 10 minutes before my enrollment deadline, I chose to attend UW and pass on an active-duty military career. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 16 months after that decision, our country was attacked and we have been engaged in active combat ever since. While I am beyond the age and fitness requirements to enlist now, I still hold a strong connection to that life path. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Please join me in helping to provide support to injured veterans. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// For more information about the foundation and specific projects, go to: https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/
