US-SEVERELY-WOUN
VAIL, CO - AUGUST 1: Cheryl Jensen (C), founder of the Vail Veterans Program, listens in as wounded veterans and their families talk after dinner August 1, 2009 in Vail, Colorado. A dozen war wounded and their families participated in the Vail Veterans Program summer retreat. The program was 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.
