The Air Force came away from the 2013 Warrior Games with 30 medals: three gold, 11 silver, and 16 bronze. This total nearly doubled the service's medal count from last year. The six-day event, which took place at the Air Force Academy and the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., wrapped up on May 16. It drew 260 athletes, including 50 from the Air Force. The Warrior Games are "designed to introduce injured service members and veterans to paralympic sport competition and encourage them to stay physically active when they return to their local communities," states the US Paralympics website.
