There are now 144 registered organizations in the AW2 Community Support Network to demonstrate their support for AW2 Soldiers, Veterans, and Families.
In May, the AW2 Community Support Network hosted its second quarterly conference call to discuss the benefits of adaptive sports and recreation. BG Gary Cheek, Commander of the Warrior Transition Command, discussed the ways adaptive sports and recreation boost confidence as wounded warriors set goals and transition to life post-injury. I personally really enjoyed hearing from AW2 Veteran Kortney Clemons, who spoke about the ways training as a Paralympic-level athlete helped him move forward with his life and recovery. Many of the AW2 Community Support Network organizations discussed best practices in hosting adaptive sports programs for wounded warriors, and I hope they each learned something from their peers.
The list of newly registered organizations is below. AW2 has posted most of these organizations to the AW2 website and is working to post the others.

Hi,
This is a nice network to join. A network is what links all the components of a business together. This makes having a properly working network a high priority. Networks provide the ability to send, receive, and store information. These capabilities work with a company’s goals by allowing them to work towards the best possible productivity. Thanks.
