Wounded Marines

Author: HelenKay, Category: All For Charity, Exhibits, Military, Special Shows

The Wounded Marine Careers Foundation has established the The Wounded Marine Training Center for Careers in Media to help Marines wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan train for alternate careers in journalism and filmmaking. The Center then assists the program’s graduates in finding job placements in those industries.

The Center is newly opened and ready for business. The faculty and facilities are impressive. The idea behind this is pure genius.  We all talk about doing something for injured servicemembers.  This Foundation is doing something. 

The first class graduates soon. A student film festival showcasing their work takes place this afternoon at 4:00 pm at the Center (4705 Ruffin Road).
