This week’s round-up of Veteran news and resources:

• The National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic will kick off this Sunday. Check out this story on how it can positively impact the lives of disabled Veterans, and follow VA Adaptive Sports on Twitter for updates and photos from the event.

I’ll write about what I learned next week, but in the meantime, check out their site to learn how they have worked to improve the lives children in military and Veteran families.
