AF warrior trials postponed

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. - The 7th annual Air Force Wounded Warrior trials, set to begin March 20 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., was postponed due to the COVID-19 public health threat. The 8-day paralympic-style competition was scheduled for March 20-28. The competition, hosted by the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program, is designed to promote the mental and physical well-being of the wounded, ill and injured service members that make up the group and select the team that represents the U.S. Air Force at the 2020 Department of Defense Warrior Games and the 2020 Invictus Games. Like other large events that have been postponed or cancelled, the program’s leadership said they felt canceling the games was in the best interest of the people who could be put at risk of contracting the disease.
