XSportf4Vets – “We are a group of current conflict veterans that strive to help other combat veterans succeed. We utilize as many extreme sports as we can to take the edge out of civilian life. Riverboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, sky diving, rafting and many other activities are our expertise! Some of us have wounds left over from combat, others can’t be seen – but we all benefit from getting out and meeting people that have been in our shoes.”
