Memorial Day is not just another day off work. Especially now. We are a country at war and men and women are making huge sacrifices to fight it. Regardless of how you feel about war, our soldiers deserve our respect, gratitude, and support.

The Wounded Warrior Project is an organization that is dedicated to helping wounded soldiers get their lives back. One of their programs involves skiing and snowboarding. I got a chance to see them in action in Colorado this winter and it is truly a great thing.

Sports have the ability to change lives. I would not be the same person I am today if I had not been fortunate enough to have had my World Cup ski career. The Wounded Warrior Project uses sports therapy to give back what the soldiers lost in their injuries. I cannot think of a better way to help our wounded warriors than this.

Please take some time to think about all the amazing sacrifices our soldiers have made throughout history.

Thanks for reading!
