Anna Walker

Captain Anna Walker is a 27-tear old finance officer from Augusta Georgia. After graduating with a degree from Georgia Southern University in 2019 she was stationed at Fort Carson Colorado. Her journey took an unexpected turn January 4, 2020, when a skiing accident resulted in severe injuries including a compound fracture of her left leg, six broken ribs, multiple pelvis and spinal fractures and a traumatic brain injury. “The Soldier Recovery Unit at Ft. Carson became my haven aiding in my recovery and eventual return to duty.” In June of 2022 a Lupus diagnosis reshaped her path leading to a return to the SRU and an eventual medical discharge. “The SRU played a crucial role in my healing journey, offering a supportive community.” While her injuries altered her physical abilities, she was able to adapt to new ways of doing this but Lups she says remains a learning process. She looks forward to representing Team Army with pride, a huge smile and determination. “I want to thank my family, friends and the Fort Carson SRU for their steadfast care and encouragement!”
