War affects eah person differntly. Emotional pain and sadnes are common when a person has suffered major trauma or personal loss in time of war. It may take some service members and family members some time to readjust.

Sgt. Dave Matthews
Sgt. Dave Matthews a wounded veteran himself, tirelessly works to help "Brave-Aid" and its cause. We are remiss in not posting Sgt. Matthews sooner. There have been times when he has called the office to allow us to speak to homeless veterans he has just fed. Below are pictures of his latest effort to help Veterans at the Road to Recovery 10/16/09 event this past weekend. God bless you Sgt. Matthews, the world needs more people like you Sir. Just too look into the faces of our Homeless Veterans and the smile you put on their faces makes our hearts full.
There are presently over 19,000 homeless Veterans in Florida. On this night thanks to you some of those 19,000 had a good meal.

On April 7th, 2009 Brave-Aid, Inc. (“BAI”) partnered with Operation Warrior Support, Inc. ("OWSI"). By far this arrangement is forming to be the single most important corporate alliance to Brave-Aid, Inc.
"OWSI", will serve as a primary fund raising source for "BAI". Through the operating structure of "OWSI", it will provide an employment opportunity to its members which will include Veterans, Wounded Veterans and families of enlisted Military Personnel. Two additional objectives that "OWSI" will provide are: Support to the families of the fallen Heroes and an income opportunity to the returning troops.
"BAI" is endeared to the efforts and sacrifices of "OWSI". Shortly after the deployment of the "OWSI" National Software Platform, "BAI" believes it will then be able to match the financial requirements of the grant applicants awaiting aid then to search out additional Grantees.
