Injured Soldiers Foundation -- About Us

> About Us

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve
as to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars
were treated and appreciated by their country."
                              — George Washington, 1789

THEY GAVE MUCH MORE THAN THEY RECEIVE
FOR OUR FREEDOM

Wounded veterans of the present War on
Terrorism and the past wars must struggle every
day to overcome life-changing sacrifices such as
the loss of a limb, significant burns, and the
reality of being in a wheelchair. The mission of
Injured Soldiers Foundation is to help the people
who have given so much on our behalf overcome
these obstacles and resume a productive and
fulfilling life through programs that help them
get back into their personal hobbies.

NOW IT'S OUR TIME TO SHOW OUR APPRECIATION

Founded in 2005 as a non-partisan 501(c) (3) organization, Injured
Soldiers Foundation is partnering with corporate sponsors, individual
contributors, and volunteers to provide an easy and meaningful way for
individuals and corporations to help these veterans and their families
carry out meaningful lives. You can help by means of direct
tax-deductible donations, participating in programs that raise money,
giving your time, as well as corporate sponsorships. One-hundred
percent of all money contributed goes directly to service-members and
their families.

IT TAKES ALL OF US

When we work together, the
results of our efforts are clear.
The men and women who are
heroes from the battlefield
return home to be heroes to
their families and
communities.

"Taking Care of Our Own"

Operation Injured Soldiers began it's operation where so many other stories end, when SSG. Tony
Covell was grievously wounded in Iraq in 2004.

As Tony recovered from his injuries at the Brooke Army Medical Center, a conversation with his
mother planted the seed of a dream. He had written off ever being able to hunt and fish again, but
his mother said "yes, you will." A year after sustaining his injuries, he shared his dream to hunt
and fish again with a representative from the Coalition to Salute American Heroes. Soon, he
found himself on a turkey hunt in Texas. His dream grew after that experience, large enough to
include hundreds of other wounded veterans just like him who shared his passion for the
out-of-doors.

In 2005, SSG. Covell established the Injured Soldiers Foundation. Its mission is to aid in the
physical and mental rehabilitation of our wounded heroes by providing them with hunting,
fishing, camping and many other outdoor recreational activities that they may not otherwise be
able to enjoy. Through corporate sponsorships and individual donations these trips are provided
at no cost to our wounded heroes. Since that turkey hunting trip, Operation Injured Soldiers has
arranged trips for nearly 300 other injured soldiers and hasn't looked back.
