Recent Progress (2026)
From March through June 2026, Wounded Warrior Project sustained a wide-ranging effort to address the physical, mental, and social needs of post-9/11 veterans. Mental health emerged as the defining theme: WWP's Warrior Survey found that 80% of surveyed veterans reported experiencing anxiety, lending urgency to the organization's PSA campaigns, PTSD recovery storytelling, and advocacy for expanded psychedelic-assisted therapies. On the policy front, WWP CEO Lt. General (ret.) Walt Piatt testified before Congress in March, and warriors traveled to Washington, D.C. for Operation Advocacy in April to push for the Major Richard Star Act and expanded mental health care. Community connection remained consistent through outdoor recreation events in Alaska and the Carolinas, equine therapy in Illinois, and the Department of Defense Warrior Games in June — where veteran athletes demonstrated resilience in adaptive sports competition.
