Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson caught four passes for 77 yards receiving while helping his team to a comeback win 
over the Cleveland Browns Sunday. Well Jackson scored another win as he is donating $50 thousand to the Wounded Warrior Project.
For Jackson the donation was natural for him as he himself saw first hand what wounded warriors have to deal with when they come home.
“The Wounded Warrior Project is a great organization and this is something that I feel very grateful and blessed to be able to do,” said in a statement released to the media. “My cousin, Jimmy Jackson, was a Sergeant E5 and won two purple hearts and two bronze stars after serving in Vietnam. After seeing what he’s dealt with throughout his life, this is a cause that really hits home for me.”
“The people in the military put their lives on the line for us every day,” Jackson continued. “I think it’s important to recognize the great service they provide for this country, especially at this time of year. I’m excited to meet some of the soldiers and let them know how much I appreciate what they do. They are true heroes.”
Jackson will visit some of the wounded warriors at the Soldier Family Assist Center at Fort Dix Joint Base and present the $50 thousand check on Tuesday.
