I don't know if anyone has been paying attention to these, but I've been streaming them at work. They are amazing. For those that don't know, these are like the Olympics for permanently disabled war veterans. They come from all over the world to compete.

The best part is that the winners of each event don't really celebrate right away, they immediately turn around and start cheering on all of other participants upon finishing. It really is a hell of an event. I recommend watching when you can.

Oh, cool. I've been hearing about them but I didn't know what they were. I'll have to check that out. Thanks.

They head wheelchair rugby yesterday. It was pretty cool.

What a wonderful event to honor wounded soldiers. Seems to be growing bigger and bigger every year. Glad those brave men and women have a platform to compete and be celebrated.
