2017 Firework sales is over and what a week it was!!! First, a big thanks to the City of Hawthorne for allowing us this opportunity every year… City of Hawthorne allows 8 firework stand every year. They are assigned in a lottery system. When the time comes local non-profits submit application and it’s up to the luck of the draw. …
Our Fire work stand is hands-down the best around. Every year we set up our compound and have a week fun with our families and our customer. It’s a great way to celebrate our Country’s Birthday. Come down and get you fireworks at the Wounded Heroes of America’s fire work stand @5030 W Rosecrans Ave Hawthorne Ca 90250- no other …
Every Memorial Day people are celebrating an extra day off from work. More time for BBQs, a little more time to see friends or spend with the kids. Maybe hit the road and go little farther and stay a little longer. Memorial Day is what many Americans live for, the first real 3 day weekend kicking –off summer. Unfortunately many …
We had a great time this past March at our 3rd Annual “Day At The Ranch” event. The kids enjoyed horseback riding, hiking, and were able to practice their archery.

Although it’s a little late, we’d like to give a big “Thank you!” to all of our Santas and their helpers, and to all of the wonderful people who donated toys, time and/or money. One organization that really got …
Today we picked two SUVs loaded to the brim with toys from our good friends at the El Segundo Fire Department. This is the second year they’ve helped out Big Time with Operation Santa — Those guys are great. So the wrapping and shipping has started in earnest. Santa is getting ready to hit the highway soon but right now …
The end of 2016 is fast approaching, and what a great year we’ve had so far. We’ve added new veterans and their families to WHOA. We’ve formed new friendships and solidified old ones. We continue to successfully advocate on behalf of our vets. We’ve accomplished amazing feats with our business partners like Progressive Insurance. Once again one of our veterans …
Veterans, tomorrow is your day. Thank you for protecting the freedoms I and so many others enjoy. As you know, we at Wounded Heroes of America appreciate our Combat Wounded Vets. Figuratively speaking, we have been in the trenches with many of them on their roads to recovery. We’ve had some ups and downs, but mostly ups as opposed to …
Mentoring: it’s about teaching, guiding and expanding the minds and horizons of our youth. I once watched a mother bird teach her chick to fly.
