“The American Warrior Partnership is a national non-profit organization,” said Lorraine. “Our focus is on Get to know veterans Everywhere throughout the country, insight into what they need and then connect it on the other hand with local and national sources, with the aim of improving their quality of life, so that they have such a high quality of life that suicide is not considering. “
The AWP recently worked with Metinvest, a group of steel and mining companies that are active in the US and Ukraine and the largest company in Ukraine is to help thousands of their employees who have to return to the front line in the workforce.

According to the estimates of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenskyy, 380,000 of the soldiers of his country were injured in the current war with Russia. About 57,000 of them have suffered serious amputations, which brings Ukraine into a challenging position to re -integrate hundreds of thousands of wounded service members into civilian life.
Metinvest hired AWP directly for this initiative and ensured that no American subsidy funds were designated for American veterans, were used in helping Ukrainian veterans. The collaboration works fully with the help of the resources of Metinvest, the strengthening of a commitment to support veterans without leading help that is intended for American service members.

‘I just don’t want to see it American troops There … my son served, and as I said, he is a Purple Heart receiver. I don’t want him to serve, “Lorraine said.” And if the Ukrainians, who fight against an incredible fight against a world power, hold their own holding and have pushed Russia into the edges of their limits, if they can do it with means, not money, but resources, military means, and I would also say humanitarian resources, if they can do that, I think we are all safer. I think Europe’s is safer and I think the United States is safer. ”
