Many injured veterans return from battle only to face grueling physical and mental challenges and enormous financial burdens. THE BATTLE CONTINUES helps veterans and their families fight the battle that continues after war by providing funds for medical treatments. The nonprofit was founded by Dr. Sudip Bose, a physician who served 12 years in the United States Army and received the Bronze Star Medal. A nationally recognized speaker, Dr. Bose uses his speaker fees to cover all administrative costs of The Battle Continues, so that 100% of each donation goes directly to the injured veterans. Amazon Prime Video is now launching a 12-episode series featuring Dr. Bose as the “Desert Doc.”

The nonprofit’s founder recently talked to WPIX-TV about sparking a love of reading in children.
