This years team is not only one of the best the US has ever fielded but it is also historic in that it includes the first Injured Iraq War Veterans to compete in the Olympic or Paralympic Games. Melissa Stockwell, Scott Winkler, and Carlos Leon all served in and around Baghdad, and in an amazingly short time have reached the pinnacles of Paralympic Sport.
The 2008 Beijing Paralympics will be broadcast live online, and on television (Universal Sports) in October.
