Happy birthday, and thank you to all past and current Navy SEALs!
#NavyWoundedWarior #NavySEALs
#OTD in 1962, The Navy SEAL teams were established, beginning with Teams ONE and TWO.
In response to President John F. Kennedy’s desire for the services to develop unconventional warfare, the U.S. Navy established the SEALs (Sea, Air, Land.) Their mission at the time was to conduct counter guerilla warfare and clandestine operations in riverine and maritime environments. The SEAL teams were formed with personnel from Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT) also known as, "Frogmen."
🎉Happy Birthday, SEALs!

Toady is International Day of People With Disabilities. This year’s theme, “Not all Disabilities are Visible,” focuses on spreading awareness and understanding of disabilities that are not immediately apparent, such as mental illness, chronic pain or fatigue, sight or hearing impairments, diabetes, brain injuries, neurological disorders, learning differences, and cognitive dysfunctions, among others.
These are just some examples of the millions of people currently living with a disability that is not immediately apparent, and a reminder of the importance of removing barriers for all people living with disability, both visible and invisible.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, isolation, disconnect, disrupted routines, and diminished services have greatly impacted the lives and mental well-being of people with disabilities right around the world. Spreading awareness of invisible disabilities, as well as these potentially detrimental— and not always immediately apparent— impacts to mental health, is crucial as the world continues to fight against the virus, and for inclusion for people living with disability.

Adaptive athletics is one of the many areas of recovery offered through Navy Wounded Warrior.
Fitness and teamwork are a way of life in the military. Adaptive athletics are sports that have been modified to meet the abilities of injured or ill individuals. They help wounded warriors build strength and endurance, while also drawing inspiration from their teammates.
All wounded warriors enrolled in Navy Wounded Warrior are encouraged to include adaptive athletics in their recovery plans to build strength and endurance. Sports also helps build self-esteem, lowers stress levels and prevents secondary medical conditions from developing.
