Wounded Warrior Project

I believe that the Wounded Warrior Project is a wonderful organization , and helping them is the least we can do for our wounded soldiers.

Giving to the Wounded Warrior Project is also a tax dudectuble contribution. The number of wounded is steadily growing, as is the needs of these brave men and wemon. Who were injured trying to protect this life that you take for granted so much. Thats right, while your haivng your BigMac and coffee they're out there getting shot at and trying to protect this country.

Now don't get me wrong, i'm not one to talk about patriotism and fighitng for your country. In fact I hate the military and most of the government, but even I apprecitae and can see the sacrifices they have made for our freedoms. Showing them that we care and remember those sacrifices shouldn't be something that you have to be forced to do.

Wounded Warrior Project is a great organization that helps not only the soldiers themselves but also thier families. Providing comfort to those who have to watch their loved ones hurt and helping the soldiers get care. Mainly I thinkthat this organization is bringing them back into the public spotlight and trying to get people to remember those who fight for freedom.

The Wounded Warrior Project  is an incredibly great organization that is dedicated to helping fallen soldiers.

Fight or flight reflex: Henery vs. Forrest

In in tense situations a person's instinct to run varies based on their character, because of one's definition of self-preservation.

Forrest unlike Henry, who ran because he was afraid to be killed, ran because his officer told him to do so. And even then he wouldn't completely listen. Forrest's reflect was fight not flight, he had been trained so well that he even went back to help his fallen comrades after he noticed that he was running by himself.

Henry ran because he was afraid, not because his side was told to retreat. He even ran past other soldiers that were running, Henry's first reflex was flight, mainly because he wasn't ready for a fight like that. Looking back he even missed his boring life back home.

Forrest's first reaction to an oncoming battle was to fight for survival, while Henry's was to run away to preserve his life even just a bit longer.
