i have seen in one the marathons on TV that equipment used on the show is real. Suggestion: from time to time the characters play with the cameras at thevarious crimescenes. these photos could be sold/auction/Ebay to fans with the proceeds going to wounded warriors foundation. this would help fans like us to help the real wounded warriors. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

"What wounded warriors?"
They are referring to the 'real' soldiers who are injured in Afghanistan, and those fighting the terrorists.

The "Wounded Warriors" project has been an official progam or charity for several years in the US - It is not just a phrase but an established orginization. Millions (actually most likley billions) are contributed by corporate sponsers as well as indiviual people to built house, organize events, etc etc. It is a phrase that shows our appreciation and patriotism.

OK. I had no idea; however, considering there were contingencies from other countries in Afghanistan which also suffered severe losses, i.e. the British and Spanish among others. I think we should honour them all and not just some, since they all fought for their respective countries.

There is a similar organization in the UK for British troops, navy and air force, although not in the Spanish State, not too sure about the rest of Europe on that score.
