The Wounded Warrior Kemah Project is a family oriented event not just for Kemah and the Bay Area, but for the whole state of Texas designed to help our soldiers and their families participate in activities that take their minds off their grueling rehabilitations and the struggles of their daily lives. For our wounded soldiers, a relaxing and fun weekend of ‘R & R’ away from the hospital is needed and a chance for all to say thanks and show our appreciation to those who volunteer to protect our country.
Sponsors are needed now for this November event and sponsors are needed for the pre-event fundraisers. Come aboard and join the group. Steering the committee are members from the 82nd, 101st & 173rd Airborne, Elks Lodge and the VFW Post 8566 along with the City of
