More than 600,000 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans have been left partially or totally disabled from physical or psychological wounds received during their service. And their families, too, have felt the aftershocks of war here at home, witnessing a loved one suffer and doing everything they can to help—even when everything isn’t enough. That’s what makes the Defense Department’s Warrior Games so important. The 270 Wounded Warriors competing in a variety of sports over 10 days at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia, come from every branch of military service. What they have in common is the will to overcome.
Retired gunnery sergeant Anthony Rios (left) of the U.S. Marine Corps was wounded by a rocket-propelled grenade in Marjeh, Afghanistan. “My mentality was to ‘tough this out,’ until my idea of normalcy returned,” he says. Unfortunately, reality would send me down a different path, and the unspoken truths about being injured would become my new norm. I struggled to find my way out of this fog of pain and uncertainty, and one of the beacons would be adaptive sports and recreation.” Retired sergeant Jenae Piper (right) had to have her right hip repaired after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and suffering a spinal injury. “Adaptive sporting events bring me back to a group of friends and family that are faced with similar challenges but all have the same goal,” she says, “which is to win and do their best at whatever sport they’re competing in.” Read their stories and that of 13 other Wounded Warriors on time.com/wounded-warriors.
