Healing through Hockey: The Flyers and Warriors are setting the bar to help disabled Veterans

There is a bond between those who serve in the armed forces. An unspeakable bond. Throw in combat deployments and you find that some veterans become closer to their brothers & sisters in arms than their own families. It makes sense when you think of it, these brave men and women shared a period of time under the most stressful, dangerous situations. They have seen just what man is capable of doing to another man. To combat the violence and horrors witnessed, it is this bond and often a warped sense of humor that helps theses heroes heal. When veterans leave the service and leave that bond, a piece of them is missing.
