Cpl. Josue Baron, Wounded Warrior Battalion West, sports a glass eye with his unit emblem, 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment where he served as a rifleman for three years. Baron lost his left-eye in an Improvised Explosive Device explosion in Afghanistan less than a year ago. Baron is also an above-knee amputee and this is his first year to participate in the Marine Corps Trials. The Marine Corps Trials is a Wounded Warrior Regiment hosted event in which approximately 300 wounded, ill and injured Marines compete for a spot on the 50-athlete, All-Marine team roster. The selected athletes will go on to compete in the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, April 30 – May 6. The Games are a competition between all branches of service for wounded, ill and injured service members.
