All proceeds from this charity auction benefit The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). WWP was founded on the principle that veterans are our nation's greatest citizens. The WWP seeks to assist those men and women of our armed forces who have been severely injured during the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations around the world. Many of the injuries are traumatic amputations, gunshot wounds, burns, and blast injuries that will retire these brave warriors from military service. From the battlefield to their bedside, WWP is there to meet the needs of wounded heroes by providing them with unique programs and services, raising awareness, enlisting public support and providing a means for veterans to help each other.

this is so cool,
wonder how much the highest bidder will go?
