This crossed my desk a few minutes ago and it seems worth sharing... I belive this happened last yr but was just posted on the Task Force Dagger website and newsletter..

Wounded Warriors Dive With Family in the Florida Keys - YouTube

Supporting this sort of thing is just the right thing to do...

Just seven months after he lost both legs and full use of his right arm following an attack in Afghanistan, a U.S. Army Special Operations soldier has been reintroduced to scuba diving with his wife and son who are learning to dive in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Army Chief Warrant Officer Scott Schroeder of Clarksville, Tenn., his wife Laura and teenage son Zach are participating in a recreational therapy program that focuses simultaneously on injured soldiers, their spouses and children. Schroeder is one of seven severely wounded Special Operations soldiers learning or refining scuba skills with their families in Key West this week during a trip coordinated by the Task Force Dagger Foundation.

This is why you folks need to help SUDS (Soldiers Undertaking Disabled Scuba). I am currently volunteering for a trip they are about to make and trying to raise money for it. It is a very rewarding experience, and I encourage all to take a look at it.

Perhaps you could coordinate approach the Wounded Warrior Foundation itself to help with funding?

I will look in to that. The SUDS trip is coming to where I am stationed at, so it is a reoccurring thing here. I will contact the Wounded Warrior Foundation. Thanks.
