WELCOME TO THE TROOPER JOURNAL!... We at NROTC are pleased you decided to visit!

NROTC is a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible military charity dedicated to honoring our military service members, and their families, for the sacrifices they make, and letting them know they are not forgotten.

As the war on terrorism rages on, it is only because of our nation’s bravest and finest men and women that stand ready to risk life and limb to protect our country and our way of life, that we remain out of harm's way. Please remember that for every brave trooper serving, there are family members back home "serving" and sacrificing, with them.

Today, NROTC's Mission is expanding to provide recreational therapy to our wounded warriors returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as other wounded veterans.

All of these wounded are in pretty bad shape. They are amputees, burn and gunshot victims, and those who have lost sight or hearing and/or suffered serious brain trauma due to roadside bombs. We pick them up from their homes and military hospitals and shuttle them to sporting events and places such as restaurants, golf courses, bowling alleys, movie theaters, VFW and American Legion Posts to show them a good time. Patrons at these events and places get a chance to honor them and thank them for their service and sacrifice… and let them know they are appreciated. This show of support by others as we get them out to mix with the public, many for the first time after sustaining their injuries in battle, helps them, in their immediate recovery AND… on an ongoing basis after these wounded have returned home!

THE TROOPER JOURNAL, published quarterly, is NROTC's attempt to get the word out!... While our E-Version is viewed nationally if not worldwide, our print version is being distributed on a limited basis to various military bases, military and VA hospitals, and areas surrounding military bases throughout the USA. Right now, most of our print circulation is in the Maryland, Washington, D.C. and northern Virginia areas.

We are in the process of compiling a "Wounded Warrior Registry", and we have set-up an online Wounded Warrior Support Group. LEARN MORE HERE

We are also seeking volunteers who are willing to give a helping hand.

Being that NROTC is headquartered in the Baltimore/Washington, DC metropolitan area, this gives us a unique opportunity in that we are so closely located to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, National Naval Medical Center, formerly known as Bethesda Naval Hospital, and Fort Meade, MD, where many of our wounded are also being housed. Most of our efforts today are centered around these hospitals, however, plans are to expand our charitable activity and Trooper Journal circulation nationwide.

We hope you enjoy reading THE TROOPER JOURNAL.

For those of you who are serving, those who have served, our wounded, the loved-ones and caregivers. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Yours in freedom,

Tom Ruley
