Rejy Bacchus, All-Marine Warrior Games Team field athlete, during their first practice together at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., May 3.

The games are offering approximately 200 recovering active duty and medically retired service members from each branch of service the opportunity to compete against one another in a variety of Olympic-style events. The games are scheduled to be held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, May 10-14.
