Reserve Citizen amputee Airman scores 9 medals

The Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. David L. Goldfein reenlisted Staff Sgt. Kevin Greene in November 2017 and introduced him to the Wounded Warrior program. A Senior Airman at the time, separation from the service he loved due to an amputation from an injury was never an option for the healthcare management technician with the 920th Aeromedical Staging Squadron at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. After a two-and-a-half-year fight, including three rejection letters and an in-person medical evaluation board, he once again donned his Air Force blues when the Air Force reinstated him back to duty. Greene scored six gold--two silver—and three bronze medals at the Wounded Warrior Games in Tampa, Florida June 21-30, 2019. (U.S. Air Force photo)

Staff Sgt. Kevin Greene is pushing hard to make it up the court during wheelchair rugby practice at the NE Region Warrior CARE Event at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. The biggest moving part of the AFW2 Warrior CARE Events is the adaptive sports. It's dynamic and fast-moving, giving each warrior an opportunity to see what they can do versus what they cannot. These wounded warriors often come to the events with a prescribed lists of things they cannot do and the coaching staff work hard to move around those mental barriers to increase their restorative care for long-term success in their overall recovery.
