Wounded Warrior Battalion-East celebrated 10 years of caring for wounded, ill, and injured Marines, Sailors, and their family members at a ceremony at the Wounded Warrior Pavilion on the Wounded Warrior Complex aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., June 29, 2017. What started out in 2005 as a barracks for 12 Marines recovering from their injuries grew into a full sized battalion by 2007 when Wounded Warrior Battalion-East was activated on June 29 on base. The idea came from now retired Marine Corps Lt. Col. Tim Maxwell and retired Marine Corps Master Sgt. Kenneth Barnes both of whom were recovering from injuries and looking for a way to encourage Marines to remain in the fight.
