"The value of sports and athletic competition and the fact that you can get great satisfaction from what you do is really what we're after," he said. "And we're really looking for this opportunity to (grow) this program in May and have it get bigger and stronger." The goal isn't necessarily to determine the best athletes, but rather to maximize wounded veterans' abilities and to show them their true potential through competitive sports, he explained. "While we've made enormous progress in all the military services in our warrior care, ... it's not enough*," the general said. "And what we have to do with our service mem- bers is inspire them to reach for and achieve a rich and productive fu- • ture, to defeat their illness or injury to maximize their abilities and know that they can have a rich and fulfilling life beyond what has happened to them in service to their nation." : Earlier this year, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz and Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley designated July 2009 to July 2010 as the Year of the Air Force ; Family, a year-long focus on Air Force programs highlighting the importance of, and commitment to, the entire Air Force family.
