"Dinner with Warriors" - Cookbook Featuring Wounded Soldiers

JR and I were so excited when we heard about this and we wish we came up with the idea!

Dinner With Warriors is a group committed to raising awareness and funds for wounded soldiers and families of fallen warriors.

The main work is a cookbook called "Dinner With Warriors" In the book each page will feature a wounded or fallen soldier, with a picture and a little about them followed by their favorite meal and recipe.

The book will be sold to raise money for Wounded Soldiers. I believe that I have the resources to sell many of these cookbooks and raise a significant amount of money and awareness, what I need is help with the content. I need soldiers or the family of soldiers to provide the information to make the book a success.

If you have been wounded in OIF or OEF, or if your loved ones have fallen please email the following information to, WarriorRecipes@gmail.com, or message me(Brig Arnold) on facebook:

1-SOLDIERS PICTURE(just yourself, with family, or with other soldiers)
2-A short BIO including as much or as little about your INJURY as you would like to share, or the story of how they fell
3-FAVORITE MEAL(or 2 or 3) if you have or can get a RECIPE for it thats great, if not just describe the dish and I will provide a recipe for it.

If you know someone who has been wounded please pass this information along to them, or just ask them if you can send in the information for them.

I believe that as families use the book and see that these wounded and fallen soldiers are real people, they are neighbors, friends, brothers, and sisters/ they will not just stop at buying the cookbook but awareness levels will increase, and with that I think there will be further donations.

Please share as much information as you feel comfortable with, as this will go to help relieve other soldiers who have been injured. Thank You.

Jager Schnitzel with potatoes and asparagus

We have already submitted our (not so healthy) Jager Schnitzel Recipe and look forward to purchasing a copy of the cookbook when it becomes available. JR spent 2 years in Germany as a child when his Dad was stationed there, and 2 more years in Germany when JR was stationed there before going to Iraq. I spent a semester in Bonn, Germany when I was in college. So needless to say, we're a fans of German food and the beer that goes with it.

If you are a wounded warrior, or know someone who is, we recommend that you participate in this great opportunity. Check out the Facebook Fan Page for more information.
