Team Navy/Coast Guard join together for a team picture on opening day of the 2012 Warrior Games at the U.S. Olympics Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., Monday April 30, 2012. The warrior athletes walked the length of the Olympic path being cheered by family and friends. Following the processional was the symbolic tradition of carrying the Olympic flame. The ceremony brings together more than 200 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, coast guardsmen, and British armed forces members, challenging each athlete to perform at their highest level in the week-long competitions in cycling, archery, shooting, wheelchair basketball, volleyball, swimming, and track and field events. The 35 warrior athletes are participating as Team Navy/Coast Guard, sponsored by Navy Safe Harbor, the Navy and Coast Guard’s wounded warrior support program, a key component of the Department of the Navy’s 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative.
