Aug 19, 2008 by Army.mil/News

Cowboy-Soldier Spc. Jake Lowery lost an eye and suffered massive head injures in Iraq a year ago but helped launch the Army's Wounded Warrior Sports Program last month.

The Wounded Warrior Sports Program is a goal-oriented sports program for disabled Soldiers who remain on active duty. Soldiers selected to participate will be sent TDY & return to compete at state and national-level sporting events for physically disabled athletes. Funding will be provided by the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command. Selection standards will be set at the beginner/intermediate level in coordination with the U.S. Paralympic Committee.
