"For the longest time, I was doing nothing. I would go to the gym and then go home and play video games and watch TV. Adaptive athletics has opened my eyes so much."

Navy Wounded Warrior provides enrollee families with a variety of support services to help make their jobs as caregivers more manageable.

"I look forward to the camaraderie and I am proud to represent my community and the Navy," said 2016 Warrior Games athlete.

Adaptive sports help wounded warriors build strength and endurance, while also drawing inspiration from their teammates.

   

Chaplain Support

Navy Chaplain Corps Mission:

To inspire hope and strengthen spiritual well-being through the delivery and coordination of effective religious ministry at sea and ashore.

Navy Wounded Warrior works closely with local chaplains to inspire hope, strengthen spiritual well-being, and facilitate a positive and nurturing attitude among wounded warriors and staff. 

Navy chaplains offer care in the form of confidential counseling, referrals and assistance to all wounded, ill and injured in the Navy and Coast Guard, and their families. Chaplains also provide a variety of programs, worship resources and spiritual guidance to address issues associated with any major life change.

"Chaplains are in the business of hope. We search for ways to bring hope to all people, especially those whose lives have shifted quickly from a combat or accidental injury or a serious illness. As representatives of God, we declare that God does not hide in the midst of trouble, rather God supports and guides us through every moment, be it full of joy or sorrow."

- Cmdr. Bill Middleton, Navy chaplain with the Navy Wounded Warrior program
