US-SEVERELY-WOUN
MCCOY, CO - JULY 30: U.S.Marine Jose Daniel Gasca, 22, watches as comrades shoot skeet on July 30, 2009 at the Yarmony Lodge near McCoy, Colorado. Gasca, who was wounded when his vehicle hit an IED in Fallujah, Iraq Sept. 6, 2008 was taking part in the Vail Veterans Program. The program is designed to help recently severely wounded U.S. military forces rehabilitate and rebuild confidence through outdoor activities, including rafting, fly fishing, skeet shooting and horseback riding. Most of the wounded are flown in from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Some 250 wounded troops have participated, both in the summer and winter programs since 2004. The visits to the Rocky Mountain retreat have been incorporated into Walter Reed's rehabilitation program for troops who have suffered from traumatic injuries, including amputations, brain injuries and other severe wounds, most of which sustained in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq.
