The cat’s out of the bag: In work for more than 3 years, The Veterans Journal leads the way!

America’s Car Racing Team… for our Wounded Warriors has arrived.

We have been hiding a secret from you for a very long time. It’s now time to let the cat out of the bag. Because this particular cat is so big, please bear with us as we explain just how big a cat we are talking about.

Right after the terrible events of September 11, 2001, the staff of the Veterans Journal conceived of, designed and implemented a program known as Operation Homefront. Its original intent was to raise money and support for the families of our deployed service members. The premise of the idea was, when our nation calls our service members into harm’s way, the last thing these warriors need to be thinking about is if their spouse is making ends meet back on the homefront. After much work, and thousands of donations from the people and businesses in San Diego, the Veterans Journal allowed the project to take its course. With the overwhelming success of this project, we moved on to tackle bigger issues.

Not long after our work subsided with Operation Homefront, David Brown, the Owner and Publisher of the Veterans Journal was thinking about how we could help the wounded veterans returning from both Afghanistan and Iraq in the Global War on Terror.

David’s first idea: with the shear volume of wounded warriors returning home, and the scope of the issues involved with their recovery, we would need to raise $200 million for a foundation to accomplish the goals we have set.

How on earth could we raise such a sum of money?
