Spc. Harrell competes in archery at the 2014 U.S. Army Warrior Trials

“It gets better. Things heal over time,” said Spc. David Harrell, Warrior Transition Unit, Fort Belvoir, Va., competing at the 2014 U.S. Army Warrior Trials in archery and shooting, West Point, N.Y. He attributes the skills he learned in archery to aiding his recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI). More than 100 wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans from the Army, Marines and Air Force met at West Point to compete in archery, basketball, cycling, track and field, swimming, shooting, sitting volleyball and wheelchair basketball. Participants in the trials include athletes with spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, visual impairment, serious illnesses and amputations. The Army Warrior Trials are slated for June 15-20 and are hosted by the Army Warrior Transition Command. (Photo by Benny Ontiveros)
