Once again, RIDIN’ STEEL’S annual Cabin Fever Reliever was a huge success! Wounded Heroes Program of Maine is humbled to benefit and be a part of this event. Many thanks to Stephen Marois and his RIDIN’ STEEL crew of volunteers who work so hard to promote the many groups holding charity bike runs each year. And thank you to all who extended such a warm welcome in response to my time speaking to the attendants. THANK YOU.

Honoring our wounded veterans in transitional housing.

We can’t thank our Biddeford Olive Garden Restaurant and Scarborough Cabela’s enough for their generous support of our veterans in transitional housing in the Biddeford/Saco area. For our annual holiday gathering for our residents, Olive Garden provided an abundant lunch to enjoy. Cabela’s gave each of the residents a much-appreciated three-season jacket. They proudly wear them in this photo. Dec. 2012.

Christmas 2012

Team Wounded Heroes, once again, with the help of so many businesses, groups, and individuals, was able to provide wounded families all over the state of Maine with a beautiful Christmas. Our volunteer elves made deliveries, leaving our families with smiles and heartfelt gratitude. We are honored to make sure the brave little ones of our wounded servicemembers find plenty of Christmas magic under the tree on Christmas morning.

Wreaths Across America at Cabela’s 2012

Team Wounded Heroes is so proud to be part of this event, as the Wreaths convoy makes its final stop in Maine before heading to Arlington National Cemetery to lay tens of thousand of beautiful wreaths, donated by Worcester Wreath Company from Harrington, Maine.  As we lined the majestic entrance to Cabela’s with hundreds of luminarias and flags, we excitedly awaited the huge convoy of haulers and other vehicles. The members of the convoy spent a very long day with many stops to carry out the Wreaths Across America mission; Remember, Honor, Teach.

Many wounded families in Maine enjoyed a bountiful Thanksgiving in their homes thanks to the generosity of so many. The fantastic supporters of our servicemembers made it possible for Team Wounded Heroes to provide Thanksgiving dinner as well as stock the  pantries for our deserving heroes. THANK YOU!
