"The mask is a humbling idea, not to give
any glory to the individual, but to shine the light on the wounded
service members for what they have overcome and continue to do. We are
not an organization here to give you any sympathy or money, but an
opportunity. To empower and show you that you are capable of much more
than you might ever imagine".

To understand what they are about to endure and why, check out this great write up by Ed Lychik: https://edwardlychik.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/oew-indoc-001-14-its-not-goint-to-be-easy-its-not-supposed-to-be/
