Fifteen heroic Soldiers and Marines who have returned from Iraq after sustaining serious permanent injuries, along with their families or caregivers will attend. On Saturday, March 1st the special guests will head to the slopes of Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Hancock, MA, in escort by the Patriot Guard, to learn how to ski and snowboard as a way of rehabilitating the psychological wounds adjusting to life with a disability.
