The wounded warrior project is an non-profit organization for "honored and empower wounded warriors" to raise awareness and enlist the public's aids for the needs of severely injured service men and women.
There are many different and great ways to help this wonderful, donationg charity event. In the 2009,2010 football seasons, the Maryland Terrapins, South Carolina Gamecocks, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Utah Utes wore special uniforms designed by under armour to promote the project. This is a great way to help support the organization, because for every under armour product sold, a back-pack or another helpful accessory is sent to these soldiers.
The purpose of this charity event for those of you who are wondering, is to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members, help injured service members aid and assist each other and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members. By donating even $1, you can help a soldier out fighting for our freedom and independence. Everyone should support WWP for you and your loved ones to help support this amazing charity event.
In conclusion, everyone should help out and support the courageous, soldiers fighting for our country's independence. Be thankful that we such amazing, life-risking soldiers that love us enough to fight for us.

Book Review
Jill Myles's Wicked Games captivate my attention with it's quick wit and the quirky romance that the characters were engaged in.
Wicked Games is basically about a game show, taken place on Endurance Island. Being offered a spot on the show and a oppurtunity of a lifetime, Abby Lewis, 26, takes the job. Abby isn't the survival type, so being on this show is a bit of a challenge for her, especially being teamed up to Dean Woodall. Dean, 28, doesn't exactly give off a good impression the first day on the show and kind of came off as a jerk to all the girls. Being on this show impacts greatly on Abby, because one, she doesn't know much about being alone in the wild, two; she hates her partner, Dean. They can't seem to get along, and three; All of the challenges on the island are difficult and require strength, speed, and balance. Something Abby doesn't have.
The author's tone of this book is humorous and tendor, which makes it easier to catch my attention and finish the book. The author didn't only make me laugh, but put me in an "awh" mood as well. It's different from most books I usually read, because it has that humorous tone mixed with some romance. I wouldn't have changed anything about the writing style.
Abby is the main character, also my favorite character. The author made me believe as if Abby and I were friends, she described her in great details, as if I knew her all my life. Liking Abby affected my feelings toward this book, because everytime someone picked on her or, something bad happened to her, it made me a little angry and sad. It feels as if someone was hurting one of my loved ones.
The setting affected some characters, because most of the people that were elected for the show had no idea what to expect. They never knew being on a game show, on an island teaming with people you didn't know would be that challenging. Some groups weren't use to sleeping under the sky, being bit by mosquitos. Others simply craved real food such as, meat, vegetables, and ofcourse fruits. Another difficulty is, if you weren't an outdoors person, this game show is definitely not for you.
I can connect to this book on a personal level. Going down to the country side of Vietnamese is exactly like being on this Island. If you had a big family, most likely, someone would have to sleep outside with the mosquitos and the moon as our roof. It was very different and difficult to get used to, especially after living in the city for so long, I became accustomed to easy living. Being on the country side was definitely a challenge.

9.11
9.11 came down to one of the most tragic days of history;
On the day of November 11, 2001, a terrost attack took place in New York City. The bombing of the twin towers killed and affected many people that day, and still does. Some of the bodies still haven't been found today.
This day affected not only the nation, but our people as well. This attack was brutal, life-changing, and horrific. It built anger, fear, and sadness to the people that were effected by it, whether if they lived in New York or not. To lose someone in this brutal act of terrorism, is one of the worst feeling in the world, especially to the family's that relied on that person to support them the most. Thinking of the expected mothers and how they would have to tell their child/children how their father/mother died, is sad, but still heroic.
The innocent people that died in the accident that day, will always be a hero in our heart.
