Balad Airman creates wounded warrior program

October 26th, 2009
An Airman here helped develop the Balad Wounded Warrior Program, a program created to ease the transition of wounded servicemembers through the medical evacuation process.

Senior Airman Raymond Jones, a plans and programming projects manager with the 332nd Expeditionary Communications Squadron, started the program Oct. 3 after he experienced the medavac process firsthand.

"I received an injury where I dislocated my knee, requiring me to be evacuated to Germany," he said. "It was a confusing time for me, but I told myself that if I was given the chance to redeploy, there were two objectives I wanted to meet. First, my goal was a dedication to the mission and completing the task for which I was deployed. The second goal was to start a wounded warriors program at JBB."
