Lyndie Stark

Lyndie joined the Air Force in 2003, serving as an Aerospace Medical Technician. She served 6 years on active duty before transitioning to the Reserves, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition Science. Her experience as a wounded warrior began after a car accident in 2015. She said she really struggled and felt like she had lost parts of her identify. “I really floundered and was so angry,” she said. “Through the adaptive sports program with AFW2, I learned that just because I can’t run or play soccer any longer, doesn’t mean I’m not still athletic.”
