Wounded Warriors is a group founded by retired LTC John Folsom. Its mission is to provide support to the families of those who have been wounded, injured or killed during combat operations. “Wounded Warriors mitigates their trauma by allowing them to find peace and solace as a family once more in family-friendly resorts that we provide free of charge. The resort condominiums that we own in Orlando, Florida and Galveston, Texas are quiet havens where war torn families can reunite and become stronger.”

They are NOT in any way affiliated with the greedy Wounded Warriors Project, who has sued Wounded Warriors to change their name!

Wounded Warriors had as their guests a few weeks ago the Sergeant First Class Jeffrey Loehr Family from Fayetteville, North Carolina. Nikki, Jeff and their children were able to have a week of quality family time because of your generous support of Wounded Warriors and the family-oriented programs that we can provide.

Sergeant First Class Jeffrey Loehr survived an attack in October of 2006 when an improvised explosive device detonated near his HUMVEE. Jeff was wounded with shrapnel in his legs, arms and face.

Judging from the photo that Nikki sent, it appears that he has made a full recovery. Many thanks from ASP go out to Wounded Warriors for taking care of this troop, his family, and so many other wounded warriors through their organization. John is especially grateful:

Wounded Warriors will close on the purchase of our third three bedroom condominium unit at Bahama Bay next week. Once we have completed the purchase, we will remodel the master bathroom to make it barrier free.

Below is a letter from the Loehr family after returning from their trip:

Dear Wounded Warriors,

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner after our Disney trip. My husband and I have gone back and forth for weeks now on what is the most appropriate way to thank you. We want to do something nice for you for everything you have done for us.

It just seems like there isn’t anything we can do to thank you enough.

We had a wonderful time and the kids still cant stop talking about it ! They keep asking when we are going back. The truth is we probably would have never been able to make that trip on our own. You gave us a once in a lifetime dream come true!! I have told everyone what Wounded Warriors has done for us and also about your website where they can make donations.

You and your staff our wonderful people and the world would be a better place if everyone was as kind as you.

If there is anything we can do for you please let us know.

Thank you again!!

Nikki Loehr
