The program, called the SHARE Initiative, provides services for military men and women who were wounded during their service in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Funding is provided for services that may fall out of coverage under TRICARE, the health benefits plan for military service members and dependents, and include necessary medical rehabilitation, post-acute rehabilitation and also community and family support services.
