Thoughts from the Bob Woodruff Foundation

Thoughts from the Bob Woodruff Foundation
With appreciation for and thanks to the Woodruff Foundation (one of our sponsors), we reprint the following letter from their executive director.


Dear Friends,

Today is a meaningful day for the Bob Woodruff Foundation.

We call it Bob's "Alive Day."

That's because it's been four years since the day he was seriously injured while covering the Iraq War. Thankfully, Bob recovered. Through this recovery, he and his family realized they could help other service members and their families who have given so much more for our country, and who now need our help.

We want to make this day, and the month of February a month of dialogue on the issues. Through our public education movement, ReMIND, we're working to raise awareness about the needs of service members -- and our nation's great responsibility to ensure our heroes and their families receive the support they need to have successful futures.

Will you help? Join our movement in any one of the following ways:

* Join our Facebook page ReMIND - A Bob Woodruff Foundation Initiative and spread this message to your friends

* Follow us on Twitter @ReMIND_org to retweet and get your followers involved in the cause

* Send us an email at info@ReMIND.org to share your story or tell us how you are making a difference for our nation's heroes in your community

* Donate at www.ReMIND.org where you can support programs that connect troops to the help they need -- whether it's physical accommodations, medical care and counseling, or solutions to larger social issues like substance abuse, homelessness, and suicide among veterans.

Today, we're celebrating. But we still have a lot of work to do. With your continued support, together, we can make a difference.

Sincerely,
René Bardorf
Executive Director
Bob Woodruff Foundation
