These spots are designated for our men and women who have served and were injured in combat. These individuals have given so much for this country that it's really a no-brainer to provide as much gratitude as possible when they return home. The thing is, many return home with serious injuries and coping with regular life once again can be a huge hurdle. The road towards recovery is almost certain to not be an easy one. Any help towards making the transition as easy as possible is definitely a worthy cause.
