Where in the world?

If you’re wondering where TSO is this week, he’s in Colorado Springs at the Warrior Games;

The Warrior Games will take place May 10-14, 2010 at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Sports include swimming, cycling, track & field, shooting, archery, wheelchair basketball, and seated volleyball. This program is designed to elevate abilities through athletic competition for wounded, ill, and injured servicemembers, providing a focal event to empower the incorporation of athletics into Military Service Wounded Warrior Programs.

The Warrior Games will be an annual event to celebrate the achievement and abilities of wounded, ill, and injured servicemembers, while building camaraderie and raising awareness for adaptive sports.

From KKTV;

At the Olympic Training Center, more than 200 wounded warriors from every branch of the military are about to compete for the glory of winning a gold medal in the inaugural Warrior Games.

The games, a joint effort between the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Paralympics, the United Services Organizations and Ride to Recovery, are designed to give our fighting men and women who’ve been wounded an opportunity to inspire us all once more.

Many have battled back from the brink of despair, often with the help of sports. And like the olympic flame, burning bright over the Olympic Training Center, they are a symbol of everlasting determination.

I swear, he’s like a rock star on tour these days jetting back and forth across the country hanging out with cool people. I may have to give him a pay raise.
