The event was packed, with the number of residents in the sim steadily remaining close to fifty. The musicians played on a stage in front of a model of the USS Missouri, and the American flag. The songs sung were a variety of tunes. Some were simply patriotic, others were cautionary tales.

The Wounded Warrior Project (http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/) is a nonprofit and nonpartisan group founded to help wounded Veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. It started by simply providing “comfort items,” but grew “into a complete rehabilitative effort to assist warriors as they recover and transition back to back to civilian life.”
Patriot Island is a veteran-owned sim, with regular events, “We provide information, advocacy and outreach to active duty service members, vets and their families. When you join our group, you become part of a big family that cares about one another and shares info vital to vets. In addition, we provide space to several national Veterans Service Organizations.”
