US-SEVERELY-WOUN
VAIL, CO - JANUARY 30: Wounded veteran Carla Best, 33, from Denver, CO. is pushed up a slope in a mono-ski on January 30, 2010 in Vail, Colorado. She lost a leg when her U.S. Army convoy hit an IED in Iraq in 2004. She was part of a group of a dozen war wounded and their families taking part in the Vail Veterans Program winter ski retreat. The program is designed to help severely wounded U.S. military forces rehabilitate and rebuild confidence through learning to ski and snowboard. Some of the wounded are flown in directly from the Walter Reed and Brooke Army Medical Centers. The visits to the Rocky Mountain retreat have been incorporated into the medical centers' rehabilitation programs for many troops who have suffered from traumatic injuries, including amputations, brain damage and other severe wounds, most of which sustained in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq.
