Valor Games begin in Chapel Hill
The Valor Games, a three day competition for injured veterans and active military, is underway in Chapel Hill.
Posted — UpdatedBridge II Sports is hosting the Southeastern Valor Games in Chapel Hill for the third time. The event involves 10 adaptive sports.
Greg Quarles officially retired from the Army on Friday. Over his career, he suffered several injures including his most recent and worst – a broken back.
Quarles was shot in the head, but it didn’t penetrate his helmet. Rather, the bullet broke his neck. Two weeks later an explosion broke his back.
However, Quarles is participating in seated volleyball, air rifle, archery, rowing and shot put in the Valor Games.
Rowing, powerlifting and archery competitions will be held at Duke on Wednesday.
