Vice chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral James A. Winnefeld, Jr. flew across the Atlantic to check out the action at the Invictus Games in London. During his visit he got to see the United States compete in track and field events. The admiral felt all service members that are still active duty can learn a lot from the wounded warriors competing today. Produced by Staff Sgt. Pete Ising.
Admiral James A. Winnefeld jr., vice chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff: “Well, I think one of the things I’ve learned when I watched them is the triumph of ability over disability. I mean, these folks have been through so much, they have given so much for their country and they have suffered wounds both internal and external and they are showing us that through their hard work and their teamwork and companionship that they are able to overcome all of that and that’s bigger than their injury.”
His Royal Highness Prince Harry of Wales is hosting the Invictus Games and during his visit the admiral took the time to personally thank him with a gift. Admiral James A. Winnefeld, Jr., vice chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff: “Tremendous thanks to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Harry for their tremendous generosity and support in putting this event together so quickly and so professionally it’s really a treat for us all to be here and it’s a wonderful experience for people who have given so much to their countries and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
