Retired US Army 1st Sergeant James Burge explains how his life has changed by participating in Warrior Sailing and how the 2020 Great Lakes tour was a bit different from other years, but still effective. Jim's 26-year career in the Army has led him to many adventures, but chooses Warrior Sailing for its comprehensive and hands-on approach to changing lives.
The Warrior Sailing Program is dedicated to maritime education for wounded, ill, and injured service members of the US Military. Getting military service members on the water can provide physical, mental, and emotional therapy for a variety of injuries and illnesses. Sailing is an outlet to cope with the long-term effects of PTSD, brain injury, amputation, paralysis, and nerve damage. It’s also an exciting way for our Warrior Sailors to express their most natural abilities: teamwork and competitive drive.
