New Video Series 'Continuing to Serve'
Will Feature Six Warriors' Unique Stories of Life After
Service
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. and ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 26,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Wounded Warrior
Project® (WWP) and DISH Network announced a new
partnership that will highlight the nation's bravest who continue
to make a difference. The partnership includes a co-created video
series called "Continuing to Serve," featuring six warriors who are
shaping the civilian world with their stories of hope, strength,
and service after the military.
"We're humbled and thrilled to kick off this new, impactful
partnership with DISH Network," said Brea
Kratzert Todd, WWP vice president of business development.
"Thanks to their support, we can highlight the dedication,
resilience, and sheer tenacity of warriors as they overcome
obstacles to reach their highest ambitions. I'm confident that
together we'll reach other veterans in need and inspire our
communities."
"We're honored to empower veterans with Wounded Warrior Project
through the lens of six warriors' stories who continue to serve in
new ways," said Brian Neylon, group
president, DISH TV. "These veterans have proven their bravery and
now champion others despite their own obstacles. Through this
partnership, the series will spotlight six warriors' heroic
journeys as they continue to navigate their unique road to
recovery."
Warrior Videos Feature Inspiring Journeys of
Healing
In the first video of the series, Retired Army Sgt. Angie Peacock recounts her military experience
and the events that altered her life after her deployment to
Iraq in 2003. After medically
retiring, she spent years grappling with post-traumatic stress
until she found hope, community, and healing through her
involvement with WWP. She now spends her days traveling the country
in her RV, helping other veterans on their road to recovery.
"Recovery is not always just about you," Angie said. "It's about
helping other people who are suffering and can't quite articulate
the way they're feeling. If you can do that, you don't know whose
life you're going to touch."
View Angie's video of the series on Facebook, YouTube, or DISH
Studio Channel 102.
Throughout the year, WWP and DISH will release five additional
videos of warriors sharing their inspiring stories of bravery and
resiliency in navigating the civilian world after service.
Because of supporters like DISH, warriors and their families
never pay a penny for WWP's programs and services.
Join DISH Network in honoring and empowering warriors and their
loved ones.
