Last year, the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command announced that the 2021 Department of Defense (DoD) Warrior Games would be hosted for the first time at Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex.
If you’re unfamiliar with this event, it celebrates the “resiliency and dedication of wounded, ill, and injured active duty and veteran U.S. military service members” with an adaptive sports competition. DoD features 12 events like sitting volleyball, powerlifting, and wheelchair basketball — and Disney’s participation this year corresponds with the company’s long history of supporting active military members and veterans.
