The National Veterans Wheelchair Games (NVWG) is a sports and rehabilitation program for military service veterans who use wheelchairs for sports competition due to spinal cord injuries, amputations or certain neurological problems.
Attracting more than 500 athletes each year, the NVWG is the largest annual wheelchair sports event in the world.
The presenters of this event are committed to improving the quality of life for veterans with disabilities and fostering better health through sports competition.

Typically, one quarter of the competitors have never before participated in any type of organized wheelchair sports competition.

But it is in Philadelphia so I suspect I will be surrounded by liberals.
Not the vast majority of veterans though - I've found most veterans (of all races) do not care for the Commie-In-Chief.
