We Honor His Sacrifices

Dear Patriot Woodworkers,

You can’t see the most serious war wound Army Staff Sergeant Stanley Hofferber suffered in Iraq. It’s an invisible injury he struggles with daily: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Stanley is one of hundreds of thousands of veterans from recent conflicts now living with PTSD, combat stress, and other invisible wounds. Thanks to your support of Wounded Warrior Project^® (WWP), Stanley is getting the help he needs to cope with PTSD symptoms.

Please step up to help more injured veterans by making a special donation to WWP today.

For a long time, Stanley hid his PTSD from everyone and resisted admitting he needed help. “I had been having problems sleeping from the day I got back from Iraq because my nightmares were so horrific. The things I’ve seen, the places I’ve been … they were all in my iron bubble that I hid away.”

WWP offers a range of programs to help veterans overcome PTSD and other invisible, yet devastating, wounds of war. Project Odyssey™ is one of the programs that help warriors begin their recovery through outdoor rehabilitative retreats that encourage a connection with fellow injured warriors, WWP staff, and trained counselors. Your support is needed to sustain all life-changing programs that help injured warriors and their families heal.

Stanley now knows “It’s OK to be stressed out. It’s OK to have PTSD. There are people at WWP who can help.”

He joins me in thanking you for being one of the grateful Americans who help injured veterans … and urges you to continue your vital support of WWP.

For our heroes,


Steven Nardizzi
