Project assists wounded vets

The Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project is a partnership between Disabled Sports USA and the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit organization that helps injured combat veterans and tries to raise awareness about the difficulties troops face when they return home. Representatives from the Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project visit soldiers around the country in facilities such as Walter Reed Army Medical Center, often just weeks after the soldiers arrive, and encourage them to use sports as part of their physical and emotional rehabilitation.
