Operation Santa is picking up steam . The bulk of these toys were donated by our brave first responders, El Segundo fire fighters. This was by far the biggest donation of toys that we have ever received from any one source. Not only was a truck and 2 SUVs full of toys but they were really awesome stuff – kids are …
Just another day at the office…Christmas at Wounded Heroes of America. Next is Santa’s job, delivering the gifts. It has always been our goal to involve as many volunteers and Vets and their families to run Operation Santa while insisting on enjoying ourselves while doing it. This is what a typical day looks like at WHOA’s Operation Santa Christmas program.

Jim is a local business owner and a great friend that has always supported our foundation helping wounded Veterans. Today he donated $1,000.00 to buy …
Saturday at the WHOA office…more like Santa’s Workshop!

Today, I had the pleasure to visit Catholic Daughters of the Americas #Court 519 at St Mary’s of the Assumption in Whittier, Ca. First, I want to say what a great bunch of ladies they are and how gracious and …
This year sure flew by with the holiday season fast approaching once again. We can still remember all the hustle and bustle of last year’s OPERATION SANTA when our wounded Veterans and their families where fundraising, buying, wrapping, and delivering presents to children of fallen warriors and wounded Vets. Well, it’s that time again so get ready to make this year …
Marine, Jonathan Andrade, his wife, Nicole, and their growing family of four are the latest of our Vets to receive a mortgage-free home. Jonathan (USMC) served two tours in Iraq and has a little bit of a brighter future thanks to Military Warriors Support Foundation and Wells Fargo. It’s hard to explain what a great gift this is to a …
We may not have deep pockets but we have great friends that love, respect and understand the value and the sacrifice our men and women in uniform make daily. Every year for the last three years the Los Angeles County Fair (LACF) has hosted Wounded Heroes of America for a Day at the Fair. It’s one of our biggest get-together …
