WARRIOR GAMES

Warrior Games to provide competition and fun for wounded veterans

This May will mark the first ever Warrior Games, a national multi-sport competition for Wounded Warriors. The Games will be held May 10-14 in Colorado Springs, CO. Two hundred men and women--both veterans and active duty service members, from all branches--will compete. Events are to include track and field, swimming, shooting and archery.
“What we have to do with our servicemembers is inspire them to reach for and achieve a rich and productive future, to defeat their illness or injury, whatever lies in the way, to maximize their abilities and know that they can have a rich and fulfilling life beyond what has happened to them in service to their nation,” Cheek said.
