New Service Announced for Wounded Warriors, Families and Caregivers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2008--DoD has announced that the Military OneSource service has established a Wounded Warrior Resource Center telephone number and e-mail address for servicemembers and their families, if they have concerns or other difficulties during their recovery process.

Servicemembers and their family members can now call (800) 342-9647 or e-mail wwrc@militaryonesource.com 24/7 to request support. Assistance provided by the resource center will not replace the specialized wounded warrior programs established by each of the military services, but it will offer another avenue of assistance for military facilities, health care services, and/or benefits information.
