Warriors Speak
The Warriors Speak® team travels the country, sharing their stories to raise awareness for the needs of post-9/11 veterans and caregivers. Their stories are truly inspirational. And your event could be their next stop.
Let Us Share Our Stories With You
Warriors Speak is a group of wounded veterans and caregivers who share their motivational stories of service and sacrifice to raise awareness for the needs of this generation’s injured military service members and their families. These stories highlight the impact Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) has had on each of their journeys and how advocating for other veterans and caregivers has transformed their lives.
By inviting a WWP™ speaker to your event, not only will you be inspiring your audience to create positive change in their lives, but you will also be helping us raise awareness for the military community so the public can better understand what these brave men and women — and their families — go through after they return from war.
