Retired U.S. Army Capt. Tony J. Smith, Team Army athlete and Warrior Games competitor, poses for a portrait during the Warrior Games in San Antonio, Texas, June 11, 2026. After navigating recovery from physical injuries and mental health challenges, Smith says adaptive sports helped him rediscover purpose, confidence and community. He now hopes to pursue a career helping others heal through physical, recreational or mental health therapy. The 2026 Warrior Games take place 13-20 June in San Antonio, Texas, bringing together nearly 200 wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard, Air Force/Space Force, and Special Operations Command to compete across multiple adaptive sporting events.
