For California native and non-native residents, I deemed it important that those going to college in this state should have some sense of what prop-insert-number-here actually meant for them and those around them.

mission statement. One of the fundamental purposes of WWP is to “provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members” (Mission, n.d.). WWP recognized the desire for many injured veterans and their spouses to start a family. The leaders at WWP needed a plan of action to help these members get the medical attention required to reach their goal of starting a family.
