Attending the National Wheelchair Games this year was truly a heartwarming experience. We set up a table where we had the chance to connect with so many veterans, sharing not only our program flyers but also little tokens of appreciation. It was incredibly fulfilling to explain our programs and answer their questions, and the enthusiasm we received from the veterans, their family members, caregivers, and vendors was uplifting.
As we watched the various games unfold, we got to cheer on the players. Hearing their stories about their service and deployments was deeply moving and gave us a greater understanding of their journeys. Being part of this event reminded us of the importance of community and the resilience of these amazing individuals. We look forward to participating in future events!
