Wounded Warriors
Friday, 26 October 2007
The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. It is specifically a combat decoration.
Task Force Marne Soldiers dedicate themselves everyday to their mission in Iraq; a mission to provide a hopeful future for the people of Iraq and to ensure the security of their families and Americans back home.
Soldiers wounded in battle deserve the highest quality medical care our country can provide. But even in the best military hospitals, Soldiers who face weeks or months of recovery and rehabilitation sometimes experience difficulty maintaining their Warriors’ spirit. But hanging on to that spirit is as important as physical healing they go through and you can help. The value of a note or a card offering well wishes is immeasurable in that recovery process.
Our wounded troops are cared for at locations in the United States and Germany. The email addresses below allow you to correspond with the places of healing for our Wounded Warriors. In some cases, visits may even be welcomed.
Please contact one of the liaison officers below to see how you can help these dedicated and deserving Soldiers.

The "Military Order of the Purple Heart," was formed in 1932 for the protection and mutual interest of all who have received the decoration. Composed exclusively of Purple Heart recipients, it is the only veteran’s service organization comprised strictly of “combat” veterans.
