The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP)
presented Disabled Sports USA (DS/USA) with the first installment of a $200,000
grant at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., while
announcing a partnership to provide a year-long sports and recreation program
for soldiers who were severely injured during the conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The program will provide all basic expenses including airfare,
lodging, ground transportation, adaptive equipment, instructors and meals. Bob
Costas, Dan Marino, Chris Carter and Chris Collinsworth from HBO’s
“Inside the NFL” were in attendance to celebrate the partnership. The
players also paid a visit to injured soldiers in the occupational therapy
clinic. Marino is seen here with some of the soldiers.
