We have listened and heard what you had to say! We appreciate all of your useful feedback through web surveys, phone interviews, and focus groups and we are putting the information to good use. AW2 wants you to be in the know, and therefore, the communications team plans to provide you with the tools and resources to help you.

While several new tools will be developed over the next several months, some changes are already happening. In January 2008, we unveiled two new electronic newsletters, The Wounded Warrior that is sent to Soldiers their Families monthly and The Advocate for our Soldier Family Management Specialists on a bi-monthly basis.

These newsletters are part of AW2’s goal to foster awareness about the program, inform you about our direction on new and existing initiatives, and create synergy among groups. The newsletters include updates on AW2’s strategic initiatives, global overview, insights, articles with a view from the field; spotlights on fellow wounded warriors; tips on navigating the VA and regional/local resources; and exciting employment opportunities and legislative updates.

A note to our newsletter subscribers: This is YOUR newsletter, and it is only as good as we make it—we are a team! The newsletter staff will be represented by individuals across AW2. Please email our newsletter editor at AW2STRATCOM@us.army.mil with your comments and article suggestions.
