Veterans Coming Home: Dwayne Parker Learning to Adapt Veterans Coming Home

    • Society & Culture

While serving his country in Saudi Arabia, Airman Dwayne Parker lost vision in his right eye. Like thousands of our servicemen and women wounded in action in Iraq and Afghanistan, Dwayne returned home to a life filled with challenges. For Dwayne, frustration and depression soon followed. It wasn’t until he got involved with Adaptive Sports that things started to turn around. Now he has his own non-profit to help other wounded warriors learn new skills and gear up for competition.
