Welcome

Troopers Assisting Troops (TAT) is a grass roots non profit group of retired and active New Jersey State Troopers and friends providing support to returning Wounded Warriors from the Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) theaters with local recreational and rehabilitative programs. TAT works closely with, and utilizes the expertise, knowledge and assistance of the Wounded Warrior Project.Org (WWP) of Jacksonville, Florida.

We are a registered 501c(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in New Brunswick, NJ. Our federal ID# for donations is 80-0586838 and our NJ Charities registration number is CH3394400.

TAT first met and formed in early 2009, and soon thereafter commenced on organizing and establishing our first New Jersey based recreation event in September 2009 at Sea Girt, NJ for local returned Wounded Warriors and others from the US Army’s Wounded Warrior Transition Units (WWTU) based in Ft. Drum, NY and Ft. Dix, NJ. WWTU’s are staging areas where recently returned Wounded Warroir’s are temporarily stationed until they are either returned to active duty, or discharged from the military as a direct result of wounds or injuries incurred in theatre.

Last years event was an overwhelming success and took place in mid-September, 2009 on the NJ Shore, at the NJ National Guard and State Police Training Facility and Barracks. The event was for 3-days, and we proudly hosted over 27 Wounded Warriors. Throughout this 3-day event the Wounded Warriors were extended the following:

  • Reception/Lunch at the Scarborough Fair, Wall, NJ
  • Housing on the NJ Shore (Police Barracks, Sea Girt, NJ)
  • Friday evening Reception/BBQ and entertainment
  • Saturday Deep Sea Fishing/Boat rides- off the Manasquan Inlet
  • NJ State Police SWAT Team demonstration/display of equipment
  • Lunch/Massages/Veteran Administration Benefits Counseling
  • Evening Southern BBQ/Entertainment by NJ’s own Joe Piscopo
  • Sunday morning services and breakfast at the Manasquan Elks- late morning  departure (with box lunch) to WWTU’s

We need your support by providing TAT with monetary donations to defray the costs associated with Warrior transportation, food, and supplies.

All donations (checks) should be made out to:
