Richard Rush (left), a native of Coos Bay, Oregon, and Lance Cpl Zach Blair, a native of Tipp City, Ohio, during sitting volleyball practice for the Marine team in preparation for the 2014 Warrior Games on September 18. The Marine team has been training since September 15 in order to build team cohesion and acclimate to the above 6,000 ft. altitude of Colorado Springs. The Marine team has won the Chairman's Cup in the previous four Warrior Games and is training for their fifth win. The team is comprised of both active duty and veteran wounded, ill and injured Marines who are attached to or supported by the Wounded Warrior Regiment, the offical unit of the Marine Corps charged with providing comprehensive non-medical recovery care to wounded, ill and injured Marines. The Warrior Games are a Paralympic-style competition for more than 200 wounded, ill and injured servicemembers and are taking place September 28 to October 5 at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
