Wounded Warrior Project Coin

Wounded Warrior Project was founded in 2003 in Roanoke, Virginia, by John Melia. Melia had been severely wounded in a helicopter crash while serving in Somalia in 1992. Melia assembled backpacks distributed to injured veterans at the former Bethesda Naval Hospital and Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

The Wounded Warrior Project or WWP mission is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors who incurred a physical or mental injury, illnesses, or wound, co-incident to your military service on or after September 11, 2001. The family member or caregivers of a Wounded Warrior is also eligible for the program.

More than 52,000 servicemen and women were physically injured in recent military conflicts. 500,000 living with invisible wounds, from depression to post-traumatic stress disorder. 320,000 experiencing debilitating brain trauma. Advancements in technology and medicine save lives, but the quality of those lives might be profoundly altered. With the support of the community of donors and team members, the WWP gives a voice to those needs and empowers our warriors to begin the journey to recovery.

We were given the opportunity to build them a custom challenge coin, which has a simple but meaningful design. Shaped like a common challenge coin and only uses one color, green, and only has the Wounded Warrior Logo on one side, and the WWP Peer Leader description inscribed on the other side.
