Back in the Fight: Day 14 - Honoring, Empowering, and Motivating Wounded Veterans

GET BACK IN THE FIGHT WITH US!

START FROM THE BEGINNING – PREVIOUS DAY – NEXT DAY

It's rest day for Back in the Fight - we wanted to inspire you while you are on your journey. This week we focused on working through injury; here is an organization that focuses on that same mission.Not many wake up each day anticipating tragedy; unfortunately for many these hardships have become a reality. Operation Enduring Warrior is a huge advocate in helping wounded Veterans to use healthier solutions to get back out there and get motivated again.Unforeseen events have left some veterans devastated and living life on a thin line, doubting their worth to society, their country, or even their family. These thoughts can be one of the most incredible challenges to be faced beyond the battle itself.

Some take to false solutions like medications or alcohol, but there are far better options out there, and OEW helps to provide access to them. Using newer healthier solutions like hobbies and fitness can bring to light a whole new world that can be explored from many perspectives. Operation Enduring Warrior lives by their motto “To Honor, Empower, and Motivate the nations wounded Veterans”. They have accomplished this through all sorts of activities like skydiving, fishing, hiking, obstacle course racing and more. This organization has changed the lives of thousands who once thought that “this is it” or “this is the end”. There are thousands out there who have made great strides toward recovery; even more are there to show them that there is “No such thing as disabled.”
