The Department of Defense Warrior Games, hosted for the first time by a military installation, began with the parade of athletes representing Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy/Coast Guard, U.S. Special Operations Command and the British Armed Forces. Beginning in 2010, the Warrior Games feature some 250 athletes and are a show of the resiliency of our wounded, injured and ill service members through sport in the intra-service Paralympic styled competition with eight events. With encouragements from officials representing all the services culminating with Defense Secretary Ash Carter commending the athletes, not only for their unselfish service to our nation, but for possessing the sheer will to continue when it could be far easier to give up.“After inspiring us with your service on duty, you continue to do so this week ... on the court, around the track and in the pool,” the secretary said.
