Operation Comfort Warriors
There are thousands of Veteran’s organizations across the
country that demonstrate their support for our nation’s heroes in a variety of
ways. One of these is the American
Legion and their program known as Operation Comfort Warriors or OCW. According to the American Legion, “Operation
Comfort Warriors is a program dedicated to meeting the needs of wounded,
injured or ill military personnel by providing them with comfort items not
usually supplied by the government.” Items
such as books, calling cards, sweat suits, DVD’s, electronic devices and more
are provided to America’s brave warriors to help them transition from battle to
home
Local American Legion posts all across the country hold
fundraisers such as fish fries, Karaoke events, motorcycle runs, Bingo events and more to help
support the OCW.
