The other Warriors on this trip include: Sergeant Omar Avila (Retired) of Brownsville, Texas; Captain Ferris Butler (Retired) of Port Tobacco, Maryland; Master Sergeant Tom Carpenter (Retired) of Hastings, Michigan; Corporal Charles Dominguez (Retired) of Ontario, California; Sergeant Jay Fain (Retired) of Columbia, South Carolina; and Captain Lonnie Moore (Retired) of Chula Vista, California.
Here are some facts about the program:
To date, 23 Wounded Warriors have returned to the Persian Gulf and
visited 16 military bases. Reuniting with comrades and paying
respect to those who have fallen, the group has provided inspiration
to more than twenty thousand service members currently deployed and
achieved closure for themselves.
• On each trip, a veteran of a previous "Operation Proper Exit" tour
accompanies the group to fill the role of a mentor and provide
insight along the way. On this trip Sergeant First Class Mike
Schlitz, who participated in "Operation Proper Exit III," traveled as
the group's mentor as did Sergeant First Class Josh Olson.
• As on prior tours, this group represents both active duty and
retired service members. These severely injured Warriors have
demonstrated that they are thriving in their recovery.

Hi, sorry for enquiring this request here, but I couldn't find a contact form or something so I felt like I leave my question here. I run a blogengine blog but I am receiving large amounts of spam. I see u use wordpress, is it unproblematic to control spam with wordpress or doesn't it make any difference? I hope you will respond to my comment or maybe send me an email with your answer if you don't want to approve the comment. Best regards, Annie
