Participants share a laugh at the Wounded Warrior Project Soldier Ride-Houston, which wound its way through NASA’s Johnson Space Center in March 2019. The Solider Ride is a unique cycling opportunity for wounded warriors to use cycling and the bonds of service to overcome physical, mental or emotional wounds. Forty selected warriors nationwide, of all ability levels, cycled on-site with state-of-the-art adaptive hand cycles, trikes and bicycles that accommodated various injuries and disabilities. (NASA)
Nearly two-thirds of young disabled veterans faced significant financial problems in the past year despite improving employment prospects for the group, according to a new report released by the Wounded Warrior Project on Wednesday.

To put that in perspective, a recent poll by Gallup* last year (though September of 2022) said that 55% of Americans were facing hardships (compared to the WWP's 80% for wounded vets) and that 13% were facing severe hardships (i.e., can't make ends meet - compared to the WWP's 66% for wounded vets).
