Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has written a piece over on The Players Tribune, in partnership with Sharpie, about his involvement with the Wounded Warrior Project.
In it, Rodgers describes his first encounter with the group and his appreciation for the military.
I remember standing there, watching them hit balls. One warrior was a double-leg amputee. Others had lost an arm, or an eye, or were overcoming various other disabilities and challenges. And while I found myself marveling at their ability to hit the ball, what really struck me was the joy that these men and women took in getting back to doing something they had loved to do before they were in the service — before their injuries.
