ABOUT THE ARTIST
MELISSA MCMAHON
Las Vegas, Nevada
U.S. Army Veteran
Melissa is from a third-generation military family and she enlisted as a military nurse to fulfill a higher calling to help those who fight for freedom every day. In the service, there were a lot of ups and downs (sometimes more downs) but through Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), she’s found more people like her.
She thoroughly enjoys her “Art and Chat” WWP Peer Support Group where she’s recently been working on sketching and painting with watercolors. She’s also attended WWP Project Odyssey and other retreats, making lifelong friends who support each other and laugh together. She finds that WWP has helped her leave the house more often and participate in more activities even outside of veteran circles.
