Q: Why did Joshua's Mission start?
A: The founder Pat Merkel, was communicating with a young Marine during 2005 while he was in Iraq. He e-mailed pictures of himself and his team, while looking at
the pictures, seeing the young men giving so much of themselves, they are all volunteers, they were not drafted into service, but there they were in Iraq. She decided she needed to do something of lasting value for the Marines and our other Military members. There are many things being done for our Military but there didn't seem to be much being done for the wounded. There are so many more survivors during these 2 wars then any previous wars. You can go to www.defenselink.mil to look up statistics on the number of wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq.
