3. The Need
2009 – more soldiers lost to suicide than the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined
18 veterans take their own lives every day
Suicide rate has risen every year since the start
of Operation Iraqi Freedom
Nearly 40% of OIF/OEF veterans are diagnosed
with a mental illness. One third receive minimal
care, one third receive no care at all.

4. WikiWarriors Project
The idea: There is power in the collective
knowledge of veterans and their loved ones.
The philosophy: A small group of caring, hard-
working individuals can make a positive impact.
Change need not be large or expensive to be
impactful.
The project: An e-book, available free of charge,
that will reduce stigma and provide practical tips
on what has worked for vets dealing with PTSD
and related issues.
The needs: Cover art, written content,
