I've written before about Wounded Warriors and their mission to help with the healing of military members and their families following injuries.
The organization has now purchased a retreat in the mountains of Virginia, solely intended as a location for these people to be able to stay in a relaxing setting for a period of time and enjoy life in the country - particularly for those junior enlisted members who are financially struggling.
Please consider taking a moment to provide a small donation for the Boulder Crest Retreat - I will be doing so myself. Also, if you know of any organizations seeking a good charitable donation please steer them this way.
Thanks.

I'm going to go a bit further than a donation, which I also recently did. I'm setting up to do a fund raising raffle on my shooting blog (http://carteach0.blogspot.com/) with the money going straight to The Wounded Warrior Project. So 'straight' in fact, that I won't handle any money at all. I'll use the donation receipt the project sends to donors as entries into the contest.
I already have a few products/prizes from Laserlyte and BLACKHAWK!, and more coming.
The costs of shipping and such I will pay out of pocket, and I'll contribute a few fitting pieces of the silver jewelry I make to the prize pool as well.
Look for it to be up and running in about a week, and I'll let it go for a month before I do the drawings on video posted to the blog.
The whole idea for it literally happened last night... but I am real excited about doing it.
