I know this is somewhat short notice, but if any of our UK friends have time, you might want to consider attending the Invictus Games, being held 10-Sept through 14 Sept.
This is an athletic competition for service members who are wounded, ill, or injured, and features such events as wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, and much more. Just in case you think these may be boring to watch, you be be amazed at how exciting it really is. Watch one wheelchair basketball game, and you will see that it is more like Full Contact Wheel Chair Basketball!! These men and women play for keeps!
The event is being attended by wounded warriors from many, many countries, including the US. The US is sending almost 100 warriors to London to compete.
Even if you don't politically support the different military conflicts around the world, you can still support those warriors who sacrificed so much for the countries and their countrymen.
Even if you can't attend, please pass this along to your friends and family.
Thanks...Dan
