    Choices are made daily. From choosing to get out of bed in the morning to what we are going to wear to work, there are many choices we will contemplate throughout the day. At times we easily  dismiss the difficult choices or the choices that may involve extra effort. We rarely ever contemplate who or what our choices will affect, only until the adversity of our decision has met our stare with its own. 
    Every day America's service men and women make choices in hostile environments that will potentially endure outcomes that may or may not be favorable. Yet as we sit in our chairs to read this with our cup of coffee, the hardest choice we will make is do I want to continue to read or answer that text message that just buzzed my phone. We have a chance to give back to those service members who have been injured in combat.

    In this weeks second assignment we begin to explore different sources of information that pertained to our non profit organization. As I began to read different articles and watch different videos it appeared to me that I didn't know as much as I thought I may have.
It is amazing just how much this organization actually does for our troops. After the research I have done on this cause, I feel that it has increased my awareness ten fold.

    To choose just one non profit organization to support, for me would be impossible. But choosing one to support, that weighs the heaviest on my mind is simple. The Wounded Warrior Project helps military combat veterans to adjust to life after injuries. By tailoring programs that coincide with the Wounded Warriors medical treatment plans, more needs than just physical rehabilitation are being met.  The greater the chance of psychological needs being me, the more successful reintegration back into routine life will be. 
    Having several friends who have been supported by the Wounded Warrior Project, has helped me believe in the effectiveness of the foundation. having volunteered myself, and really seeing the program at work and the appreciation it brings for the veteran, reaffirms the need for causes like this. There are a lot of foundations out there that support great causes, and that all deserve support. But what better way can you think to give back to some one that has given so much for you. (see reflection below)

Picture~ My Ram Truck ~
                            RAM TRUCK

    There are many obvious reasons as to why Ram Truck was voted 2013 Motor Trend Truck of the year, 2013 North American Truck of the year, and 2013 Texas Truck of the year. But in case you need more to intrigue you, allow me to elaborate.  
    Everybody looks for something different when buying a new vehicle. Whether your looking for specific powertrain characteristics, fuel economy qualities, or safety features. Ram Trucks have what your looking for.
In my evaluation of the Ram trucks, I talk about how Ram has tailored their truck to meet more of the demands required by todays consumer market.  Along side of having a variety of trucks to choose from, Ram allows you the option to custom make your own truck by piecing together options you may find more suitable to your needs.  Are you excited every chance you get to drive your vehicle? You should be!
