Honoring Kenneth 'Ken' Rollins
At Wounded Warrior Alabama, we don’t just serve veterans; we carry on the mission of those who paved the way.
Ken was more than a supporter; he was the heartbeat of veteran advocacy in our state. A two-tour Vietnam combat veteran (1966 & 1969), Ken returned home with a lifelong commitment to ensure no soldier was left behind. From his leadership as the founder of VVA Chapter 502 in Anniston to his 20-year tenure on the Alabama State Board of Veterans Affairs, Ken fought for the dignity, health, and recognition of every man and woman who wore the uniform.
Many of you knew him as the face of ‘Veterans Issues’ on TV 24, where he used his platform to bring help and hope into homes across the state. To us, Ken was a sincere friend and a tireless advocate whose belief in our charity helped us grow into what we are today.
We are honored to continue our work in his name. Ken’s life was a masterclass in service, and though he has passed, his ‘boots’ will never truly be empty as long as we continue the fight for Alabama’s heroes.
Accountability
Every penny counts, and any purchases over $500 are invoiced and signed by two Wounded Warrior Alabama officers to make sure funds are used for the right reasons.
A True Non-Profit
Some organizations will claim non-profit status but keep the majority of donated funds to pay for advertising, events and executive salaries. Wounded Warrior Alabama puts money where it belongs: with Alabama veterans.
Alabama Local
Donations never leave Alabama and serve soldiers from our towns, cities and neighborhoods. Give back to Alabama's Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force and Coast Guard personnel for their service.

It's impossible to estimate
the true cost of military service.
But veterans and their families continue to pay that price every day. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, past injuries and financial troubles all weigh on soldiers who fought for our freedom. Wounded Warrior Alabama gives back to Alabama’s troops to offset that cost.
Funds raised by Wounded Warrior Alabama go directly to Alabama veterans to serve their needs, whether it’s buying groceries, paying bills or even keeping their car running so they can get to work. We don’t focus on buying expensive homes for a single soldier when we can do so much for so many more.
