Morgana joined the Air Force in 2018, serving as an Airborne Linguist. She is most proud of the work she did to be able to return to duty after her TBI but being an NCO was a close second. She said AFW2 helped her understand the importance of advocating for your needs. The lessons she learned helped her overcome her fears as she waited to find out if she would be able to return to duty. “I think for many of us, an injury or illness can remove you from the mission which is jarring,” she said. “Adaptive sports and Warrior Games helps provide a goal to work towards, as well as finding ways to stay active. I think both of these factors help service members transition back into normal life, whether that is in or out of service. Also, being surrounded by people who understand what you’re going through is a reminder that we’re never alone. I firmly believe this program saves lives.”
