Today is Silver Star Service Banner Day. On April 21, 2010, Congress passed a resolution that May 1st would be designated and recognized as ‘‘Silver Star Service Banner Day." This is a day for the "American people to remember the sacrifices made by the wounded and ill members of the Armed Forces." Please join WWIA today as we recognize and honor the wounded, ill, and injured veterans who have faithfully served and sacrificed on our behalf. Thank you! Please share with others to show your support! #WWIA #SilverStarServiceBannerDay

📢 We need your help! We are requesting Wisconsin bear tag donations for upcoming WWIA events specifically for "Zone A" for the 2026 season. If you were awarded a "Zone A" bear tag for 2026 and are unable to use it or would like to donate one to help support our Purple Heart Heroes, we would greatly appreciate it!
These donated bear tags will go toward the following WWIA events: 2026 7th Annual Wisconsin Heroes Northland Black Bear Hunt in Iron River, Wisconsin and the 2026 8th Annual Camp Hackett Black Bear Hunt in Phillips, Wisconsin. This is a great way to give back to our Heroes and help us prepare for these events later this year. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration and for your tremendous support of WWIA and our combat-wounded Veterans. 💜
To donate a bear tag, please contact WWIA's Logistics Coordinator and Hero Engagement Specialist, Corrina Klahr via email at: Corrina@wwiaf.org

The DoubleCreek TN turkey hunt has come to a close. What an amazing event! Lots of turkey action in the beautiful hills of Hohenwald, TN.
Special thanks to our amazing guides Jared, Matt, Frank and Mike. They got us on birds and helped us get a couple on the ground. We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our gracious hosts Shelley and Dennis. They're hospitality and generosity is truly humbling. 🦃

Today is National Adaptive Sport Day ♿💪
A day that represents far more than sport—it's a day to recognize the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of adaptive sports, the resilience and achievements of adaptive athletes, and to encourage greater access and inclusion in sports and outdoor recreation.
At the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation (WWIA), we’ve seen firsthand that adaptive sports are a lifeline for our combat-wounded Veterans. They restore confidence, rebuild independence, and reignite a sense of purpose that extends far beyond the moment. From first experiences in the field to lifelong passions rediscovered, these opportunities create lasting impact. In the outdoors and alongside fellow Veterans, healing happens—through shared purpose, camaraderie, and the reminder that no one fights alone.
Access to adaptive sporting opportunities doesn’t happen by chance—it’s made possible through committed partnerships and purpose-driven support. Through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and its Adaptive Sports and Arts - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Program, the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation is able to carry out mission-critical initiatives like our Guide School and Adaptive Sports Training and Safety Symposium. These programs go beyond recreation, equipping combat-wounded Veterans with the skills, confidence, and leadership to safely return to the field as both participants and mentors. This is the true impact of adaptive sports—restoring purpose, strengthening community, and ensuring our Nation’s Heroes continue to lead, inspire, and thrive.
Join us today in recognizing and celebrating National Adaptive Sport Day! 👏🏻💜
