The WHY
“Wake for Warriors has not only saved my life, but they renewed my faith and gave me a purpose.”
I’m an injured former United States Reconnaissance Marine with combat tours to both Afghanistan, and Iraq. I am also an ABK (above the knee amputee), and missing pieces of my skull and brain, to include the entirety of my right ear and all the inner workings. I’ve been a part of the Wake for Warriors family for over 2 years now and I’ve seen the incredible difference that can be made in a single weekend for an injured veteran like me. I don’t know where I’d be without this organization and these people who have become like family.
Surfing season is only so long, but the connections made at these events will hopefully be a veterans lifeline during those "not so easy" times throughout their year and their life.
I “spread the shred” to save more lives like mine and to bring more men and women into the family who need to be reminded of their own value, strength, and purpose.
-Matt
