 It's my sincere honor as National Commander of the DAV to welcome all of you to the 29th National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic. As veterans, we've already risked all of our country and our way of life. To come to this clinic, many of us feel a similar sense of risk when we attempt to do things we've never done before. So this year 14th year here, what keeps you coming back? Oh, the scheme, the veterans, the staff, especially all of these great people that help us out and organize this clinic. Take it from me. This mountain can teach you that obstacles can be breached, they can be broken, and they can be overcome. Life is achievable beyond your disability. Be all that you can be, not what you are. Now go out, have fun, and enjoy this most life-changing event.
