 The Helping Our Heroes Foundation provides a way for donated funds
and services to directly reach our injured military and a way
for concerned Americans to volunteer to actively support our armed forces.
The role of the foundation
is to provide patient advocates, identify and fund educational
opportunities for the soldier, coordinate specialty counseling (financial
assistance, career, housing, etc.), and assist with emergency funding
needs as deemed appropriate.
Please consider
making a donation in support of
our injured troops, and check-out our opportunities for volunteering to
see where your skills could assist this worthwhile effort.
Great appreciation to all our donors & volunteers!
Legally incorporated in October of 2004 at the request of the United States
Army, HOHF has been busy helping our heroes.
The Helping Our Heroes Foundation Board of Directors extends their gratitude
to all the donors and volunteers who have provided the funds and assistance
to make wonderful things happen for our wounded military.
We still need all the help we can get — please make use of our tax
deductible status to make
your gift to support
a veteran through the Helping Our Heroes Foundation.

A huge THANK YOU to
AirTran Airways!
 AirTran
Airways has donated over 300 round-trip airline tickets to HOHF each year for emergency travel by our wounded
heroes and their families. This very generous support by AirTrans has enabled bringing together

most needed it, a clear benefit to their morale and health.

College Scholarships
for 25 Patients
|
The Helping Our Heroes Foundation has partnered with Colorado Technical
University leadership to create a pilot program giving out 25 scholarships
at Colorado Technical University
Online to Walter Reed
Medical Center patients.
HOHF is looking to identify the scholarship recipients during the
fall of 2007, and initial scholarships will begin in early
2008. Patients will receive a laptop computer for their own use,
and will be set up with a mentor to provide assistance with selecting
classes, the application process, and normal learning issues.
Patients will be able to take courses while recuperating
at WRAMC and continue with them when they are discharged. For further
information please contact: ketheobald@aol.com.
