Message from James J. Lafferty, President
Warrior Weekend Corporation
April, 2025

​
 As we closed out the year 2024, I am happy to report that during the year 2024, we successfully completed seven four-day weekends for our American Heroes and their families. We entertained a total of 114 people (soldiers and their families) and provided them the opportunity to spend quality time as a family away from the military and hospital environments.

​We were able to provide these seven weekend trips for those 114 heroes because of your kindness and generosity to our Warrior Weekend Program. Your donations are so much appreciated and believe me, these American Heroes we care for, also thank you. With the completion of these seven weekend trips, we have now provided a total of 119 weekend trips for these heroes and their families since the beginning of the Program.

It never would have happened were it not for your kindness and support over these years and I thank you. The weekends we provide for these heroes are an important part of their recovery process from their injuries and we appreciate your generosity and support for making them possible. Thank you for helping us put a little sunshine in the lives of these heroes and their families.

 
Those of us who work the program are all volunteers and we are happy and proud to provide these weekends for these American Heroes and their families.
 
Please say a prayer for our troops, their families and our great country.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Warrior Weekend Program is to provide a weekend of rest, relaxation and fun for those injured heroes, and their spouses and families, who are recovering from injuries sustained while serving on military duty from the beginning of the Irag war to present. These individuals may be located in Military Hospitals, back on active duty or released from duty.  

The purpose of the program is to give these heroes and their families a weekend away.  During the weekend, we schedule activities for them, but the choice is theirs to participate or just relax and reconnect with their families.


These weekends are four days, Thursday thru Sunday.  The weekends are spent at various resort areas along the East Coast. They are put up in major hotels or motels with their own rooms.  They are taken to top quality restaurants, shown a good time and different events are scheduled for their entertainment, if they are interested.  If some of the troops would rather just spend time relaxing and being together, that is their choice.  The weekend is theirs to enjoy and at no cost to them. 
How can you help?

This Program is small and personal and there are no plans to make the Program into a large operation.  There are no employees in this Program, we are all volunteers.  All funds raised for this program go 100% to the Program. 

The key feature of the Program is that it is self sustaining and self supporting.  The Program operates with the donations received from various individuals, companies, corporations and various veterans’ organizations. 

The Program completes on average seven weekend trips each year.  We have brightened the lives of many of these troops and their families, aided in their recovery process, and have made many friends.

Special Note

The Warrior Weekend Program is not associated with either the Wounded Warrior Project or The Warrior Weekend Foundation.  We do not have an executive board or a large paid staff.  The Administration and management of the Warrior Weekend Program is conducted entirely by volunteers.  They are not employees.  Every dollar received goes 100% directly to the program and the care and welfare of our wounded heroes. 

We do not discriminate as to the nature and/or circumstances of injury, unit of assignment or awards received.  We are truly unique in that we do not want to fill a bus or an airplane with personnel.  We would rather fill a van.  In that way, we can be more personal and get to know the troops and their families by their first names.
