Tommy
Middaugh is Travel To Go�s Executive V.P. of Business Management and his
son, Richard Middaugh, serves with the U.S. Army and will be deployed soon.
Middaugh says that, �Jeanette Bunn and I are happy to be able to work with
Mike Minton and Chuck Robison to plan and support the event. The more people
that attend, the more money that can be generated. Helping to create awareness
of the service men and women that have given so much for their country
and helping them to find a way to reintegrate back into life when they
return is extremely important to us and Travel To Go. Our support of charitable
causes such as this is an integral part of the company.�
The
Wounded Warrior Project exists to honor and empower wounded warriors who
incur service-connected wounds, injuries, and illnesses on or after September
11, 2001. With advancements in battlefield medicine and body armor, an
unprecedented percentage of service members are surviving severe wounds
or injuries. In Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom,
for every U.S. soldier killed, seven are wounded. The Wounded Warrior Project�s
goal is to foster the most successful and well-adjusted generation of wounded
service members in the nation�s history. The organization raises awareness
and enlists the public�s aid for the needs of injured service men, helps
the injured aid and assist each other while providing unique and direct
programs and services to meet the needs of the injured. For more information
