Wounded Warriors Team Up Recently With NFL Celebs to Climb Kilimanjaro

THEIR AMAZING CLIMB HAS ENDED BUT MEMORIES, sense of accomplishment and camaraderie of their heroic feat will live on and on.

I've been aware of this climb for weeks, since former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher, one of the NFL stars picked to hike and help others to the top of Kilimanjaro, sent media updates back to Tennessee from Africa.

This is the kind of story that warms one's heart, for truly it shows that physical and mental injuries don't have to limit us to the extent they once did. Wounded Warrior Project has been a godsend to many injured vets coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade or more. This climb is only one of the programs this organization has sponsored.

Full story here. Way to go guys and gals!
