According to their website, The Warrior Games “exist to provide an opportunity for athletes to grow physically, mentally and spiritually from the sportsmanship and camaraderie gained by representing their respective service teams in a friendly and spirited competition.”

There will be 250 wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans participating in the games representing all branches of the armed forces, as well as members from the United Kingdom Armed Forces and the Australian Defence Force.

To honor our nation’s heroes, Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson will perform at the opening ceremonies.
