"Many, many thanks for the support for Adrian!" said Zulma, the spouse of a U.S. Army Veteran from Puerto Rico who is receiving care for combat-related injuries.

"To know that a military support organization recognizes kids and youth development via a grant feels quite amazing," she said. "This grant made a big impression on Adrian. He recently earned his green belt and is keen on progressing in Jiu Jitsu all the way to black belt. Certainly organizations like this one help pave the way! THANKS!"

Adrian's father is a U.S. Army Veteran and Wounded Warrior Project member. While his father receives care for his combat injuries, Adrian is utilizing Our Military Kids activity awards to pay for Jiu Jitsu, giving him the opportunity to gain lifelong skills, connect with influential mentors, and just be a kid — all thanks to support from WWP.

Our Military Kids is proud to be a part of Wounded Warrior Project’s 2025-2026 Community Partnership network! This partnership embodies the strength of community and our shared commitment to addressing the most pressing needs of service members, Veterans, caregivers, and their families.

Our Military Kids created the Courageous Kids Contest to highlight military kids who go 'above and beyond' while dealing with a deployment.

"The prize is awarded to a child from each branch of the reserves or National Guard, as well as one child whose parent is receiving combat injury care, who has shown bravery and leadership during their parent’s deployment or recovery."
