Check us out on FB at The Mural Project of Colorado Springs or on the web at themuralprojectco.org. Project Wounded Ego is a group of Wounded Warriors who are exceptional photographers that offer photography services for wounded warriors. This is a style of photography in which the photographer captures the wounded warrior doing three main things; 1) Smiling 2) Bonding with other Warriors 3) Doing activities they normally would not do at home The photos create a sense of self-worth, self-efficacy and a sense of accomplishment for the warriors photographed. Project Wounded Ego also started a sled hockey team as a positive outlet for emotions and to develop comradery. Check us out on FB at Project Wounded Ego or on the web at projectwoundedego. The Boots On The Ground Project: One of a kind murals are being professionally designed for, and will then be painted on, by the Wounded Ego warriors. The images are powerful, yet inspiring and each warrior who chooses to participate will paint a personalized portion of the larger mural. An additional, separate mural will be designed for children, families and caretakers of wounded, deployed or fallen soldiers upon which they can leave their painted handprint. The murals will then be unveiled and travel for display to specific areas. Our goal is to develop a nationwide project and to travel to Washington D.C. and commemorate a celebration of our wounded warriors and injured vets.
