Another One-Stop Shop For Wounded Warriors
There are a lot of resources for the military nowadays, but you can never have too many.
The Department of Defense, in conjunction with Veterans Affairs and Department of Labor have a central website called the National Resource Directory. From the About Us page:
The National Resource Directory (NRD) is a Web site for wounded, ill and injured Service Members, Veterans, their families and those who support them.
It provides access to services and resources at the national, state and local levels to support recovery, rehabilitation and community reintegration. Visitors can find information on a variety of topics including benefits & compensation, education & training, employment, family & caregiver support, health, homeless assistance, housing, transportation & travel and other services & resources
If you know a wounded warrior or you work with them, you might want to use this to help them get all the information and benefits and/or assistance they are entitled to. According to the DOD press release,
NRD users can also recommend additional resources. All resources are thoroughly vetted prior to inclusion on the National Resource Directory, and as always, content is updated and reviewed daily by a content management team which includes veterans and subject matter experts.
I think you can feel secure in that the DOD is taking the time to make sure these are legitimate and legal avenues of aid when it is necessary. That can only be a good thing.
